Diwali, celebrating the 'awareness of the inner light' or 'the victory of good over evil', lasts for a period of five days. The first day is an auspicious day for buying new things. Hindus usually wait until this day to purchase a new car, motorbike, refrigerator or new clothes. The rest of the days are spent visiting friends and family, buying sweets, setting off fire crackers, sparklers, fireworks or anything that pops and fizzles. It is a time of much happiness and celebration.
