Dwali is a four to five day long festival of lights and symbolizes the spiritual victory of light over darkness and knowledge over ignorance.

While the celebration has its origins in the Indian subcontinent on earth, and is still celebrated by religious groups, it has largely lost its traditional religious overtones on New Cambridge thanks to the Magnetic Assembly. The absorption of the celebration into the trans-human community largely started because of the large number of practitioners of Dwali in highly technical fields. Highly cybernetically upgraded individuals also tended to find a lot of overlap between their personal beliefs and those expressed by the celebration.

Around 2260 the trans-human groups started becoming the main practitioners of the holiday. The festival of lights slowly transforming from fireworks to spot lights and large QR codes displayed holographically.

In modern times, a large number of the Dwali events are aimed around the trans-human community. This will often include large QR codes and Six Cog graphics with games or learning materials included. Many try to produce the largest and brightest graphic possible which can often be blinding. Graphics are also included, and usually involve bright pastel colors being used. In addition to celebrating light, a major part of the latest part of Dwali also includes the celebration of transfer of information. Music is often heavily drum based, and very similar to that heard during the Dwalis of the early 2000s.
