About the day
For Gujarati Hindus, who make up a large part of the UK Hindu community, the new year begins the day after Diwali. Temples prepare Annakut, meaning a mountain of food, with hundreds of vegetarian dishes offered and then shared with visitors. Hindu festival dates follow the lunar calendar and can vary by a day between regions and communities.
