Diwali, the festival of lights, has a multifaceted purpose. It generally celebrates the triumph of light over darkness, good over evil, and knowledge over ignorance. Diwali is a festival for which Hindus make elaborate rangolis. The word rangoli comes from the Sanskrit rangavali, meaning “line of color".
