Best Answer

deepavali the festival of lights is a celebration of light over darkness and signifies the light inside winning over the darkness thereabouts.

Diwali is celebrated 20 days after Dussehra (Dus Hara), on the 13th day of the dark fortnight of the month of Ashwin (October / November). Deepavali is a New Year festival in the Vikrama calendar (one of the many Indian calendar systems), where it falls on the night of the new moon in the month of Kartika.

There are multiple reasons - i think these two are important, and it could help if you looked up the real meaning of Dus hara and a bit on the Indian calendars, both might be in wiki...

Why do all festivals of lights happen in winter?

There is only one festival of lights, called Hanukkah, and it begins each year on the 25th of Kislev, which may be in late Autumn or Winter, depending on the year.
