In November, Hindus, Sikhs, and Jains across the Las Vegas Valley will celebrate Diwali, the festival of lights. The holiday is a festival of new beginnings and the triumph of good over evil and light over darkness. One of the ways in which Diwali is celebrated is with food and drink. In the Las Vegas Valley, there are several exceptional Indian restaurants where one can enjoy the multi-day celebration.

The five-day celebration begins on Friday, November 10 with the actual Diwali taking place on Sunday, November 12, and ends on Tuesday, November 14.
