The Department of Tourism, Government of Goa, hosted Goa Deepotsav 2025, a vibrant two-day celebration that brought festive joy to Porvorim, Saligao, and Mapusa. With competitions, music, and cultural performances, the event celebrated Diwali through community participation and Goa’s rich traditions.
Diwali, the Festival of Lights, is more than a celebration—it’s a reminder of the victory of light over darkness and good over evil. In 2025, Diwali will be celebrated on October 29, bringing with it joy, spiritual reflection, and shared moments of warmth and wonder.
Ayodhya gears up for a historic Deepotsav 2025 with 2.8 million earthen lamps set to light up 56 ghats along the Sarayu River and a 32-foot-tall Pushpak Viman installation bringing scenes from the Ramayana to life. Over 33,000 volunteers are participating in this spiritual and cultural spectacle.
Observed on October 28 this year, Dhanteras marks the beginning of the Diwali festivities and is a celebration of both material prosperity and spiritual well-being. Rooted in ancient tradition, it honours Lord Dhanvantari and the values of health, harmony, and abundance.
