Diwali, the Festival of Lights, is on Saturday, October 17, 2009

If you rolled a bit of Christmas, New Year's Eve and the Fourth of July all into one, then catered the affair with heaps of sweets and savory snacks, you'd begin to get a taste of what it means to celebrate Diwali, India's best-known festival, which is celebrated Saturday. The sugary treats known as mithai (thousands of tons are prepared for Diwali every year) tend to get most of the attention during this holiday, which marks the victory of good over evil and light over darkness. But Indian food is all about balance and contrasts. Salty, spicy snacks collectively referred to as namkeen or karam play an equally important role during Diwali. More:diwali
