What frequency is listed for Diwali on Wikipedia? Annual.

Wikipedia lists Diwali's frequency as annual because the festival is observed every year. Its dates do not remain fixed on the Gregorian calendar: Diwali follows the Hindu lunisolar calendar and generally falls between mid-October and mid-November, around the new moon.

Diwali is commonly described as a five-day festival, although the number and names of observances vary by region and tradition. Celebrations may include Dhanteras, Naraka Chaturdashi, the main Diwali or Lakshmi Puja night, Govardhan Puja, and Bhai Dooj. Nepal's related Tihar festival and regional observances can use different names and schedules.

Annual does not mean it occurs on the same date every year. For example, Wikipedia lists Diwali on 8 November in 2026 and 29 October in 2027. The festival is also celebrated in more than one religious tradition: Hindus observe Diwali, while Jains, Sikhs, and some Buddhists have related observances with distinct meanings.
