Happy Diwali

[Varun Shoor]

Hi,
From all the staff here at Kayako, We wish you all a happy diwali. Diwali is the major festival in India and is also known as the Festival of Lights. Support will be a bit slow for 1-2 days whilst the festive season ends.

Brief Description from Wikipedia:

Diwālī or Dīpāvali (also transliterated Deepavali; Sanskrit: row of lights) is the Hindu Festival of Lights. For Jains it is one of the most important festivals, and beginning of the Jain year. It is also a significant festival for the Sikh faith.

Diwali is one of the most popular and eagerly awaited festivals of India. It is celebrated for 5 consecutive days in Hindu month of Ashwayuja which usually correspond to the months of October or November. Hindus, Jains and Sikhs celebrate Diwali and use the occasion to celebrate life and strengthen relationships.

Typically, celebrations focus on lights and lamps, particularly traditional divas (as illustrated), although electric lights have become widespread. Fireworks may also be associated with the festival in some regions.
