The old go most often-sorry, but I'm not sure when.
First of all, it's spelled Diwali. Diwali is short for the word Dipavali. Diwali is celebrated because Krishna, the Hindu God, went in the form of Rama, pronounced Ram. Ram had to go on a 14 year exile because his step mother, Kayki, wanted him to go and because if Ram didn't go, her son, Bharat, wouldn't have been king after the death of the current king. In short, Diwali is celebrated for the return of Ram.
Hindus worship in a temple, and men have to go every Saturday, but women can go whenever they want.
Well typically Hindus will be fast from meat ,fish ,eggs and sex for a period of 2 weeks before Divali .Then on the day of Divali most Hindui's will either go to Temple or stay and home a Pray and make offerings to god .Most Hindui's will invite friends and family over to eat at their home and also give charity .That is how i do it and i live in Trinidad in the Caribbean.
