The Meaning of Diwali
Diwali, also called Deepavali, is one of the most cherished festivals in Hindu culture. It marks the triumph of light over darkness and good over evil. Many link the festival to Lord Rama’s return to Ayodhya after 14 years in exile and his victory over Ravana, as told in the Ramayana. Families also honour Goddess Lakshmi, who represents wealth and prosperity, and Lord Ganesha, who removes obstacles. Beyond its roots in faith, Diwali brings people together in hope, gratitude, and new beginnings.
In 2025, Diwali falls on 20 October. It is a time to tidy and decorate homes, light oil lamps, enjoy fireworks in moderation, and share festive meals. The celebration lasts five days, from Dhanteras to Bhai Dooj, each with its own customs tied to prosperity, family bonds, and sibling love. It is a chance to build stronger ties and express affection through thoughtful Diwali greetings.

Diwali Celebrations in Thailand
Diwali, the Hindu Festival of Lights that marks the triumph of light over darkness and good over evil, shines brightly in Thailand. The festival is widely observed by the country’s Hindu residents and the Indian expatriate community.
Thailand’s multicultural society, home to around 50,000 to 60,000 people of Indian origin, blends Diwali customs with local flair. While it is not a public holiday as it is in India, Diwali has grown in profile in recent years through government-supported events, especially in Bangkok’s lively Little India district, Phahurat.
Festivities centre on lamps, sweets, music, dance, and community gatherings. Many celebrations overlap with Loy Krathong in November, Thailand’s own Festival of Lights, which shares themes of hope, gratitude, and illumination. You will often see lanterns, floral offerings, and family-friendly performances that bring both traditions together.
Diwali also reflects Thailand’s long ties with Indian culture. The Ramayana, known in Thailand as the Ramakien, has shaped dance, theatre, and literature for centuries. The 2025 celebrations are expected to support the economy, with increased Indian tourism and local spending, and to build cultural goodwill.
If you are in Thailand now, visit Phahurat for a full Diwali experience. Festivities run through 31 October. For future trips, keep an eye on TAT announcements, since Diwali events continue to grow each year.
