排灯节是印度人最欢快、最重要的节日。人们不远千里赶回家以便能和家人一起度过这个节日。排灯节在晚秋,有整整一个星期的时间。这时的家也特别吸引人,在这一个星期,自始至终尤其是在晚上,当欢庆的人用长串陶制的小油灯装扮窗台、门廊和花园围墙,当油灯的棉灯芯发出柔和、跳动的光亮时,家家户户都引入驻足。排灯节相当于新年。人们在这时尽力捐弃前嫌,言归于好。有条件的话,人们还会穿上新衣过节。在山区,人们点起篝火,将堆积了一年的可燃废弃物付之一炬;在许多城市,烟花满天飞舞。
这个节日是为了纪念罗摩的胜利。罗摩是爱神毗瑟 的化身。他战胜了偷走他妻子悉多的10头恶魔。在奏完祈祷的音乐和燃灯庆典之后是素食宴、玩碰运气的游戏,以及交换水果或糖果之类礼物的活动。有些印度教的庙里会摆出一堆堆的烘烤糕点,糕点堆得高达15英尺。
