About this quiz

What you’ll explore in this Diwali quiz

Diwali isn’t tied to just one origin story—its meaning shifts by region, tradition, and scripture. These questions focus on the best-known legends and how they connect to common Diwali rituals.

You’ll answer in a simple format with 4 options per question and no timer, so you can read carefully and learn as you go.

Skills you’ll practice

You’ll strengthen your ability to link names, places, and events across different retellings (for example, which story is emphasized in which region). You’ll also practice separating core plot points from later variations that often appear in summaries.

Common pitfalls to watch for

Many players mix up similar characters, swap the order of events, or assume one legend explains every Diwali tradition. Another frequent trap is treating regional versions as “wrong” instead of recognizing that multiple narratives can coexist.

Difficulty and settings

Difficulty is mixed on purpose: easier questions cover widely known legend outlines, while tougher ones test specific details and lesser-known variations. Before you start, choose your preferred question count and difficulty to keep the session quick, deep, or anywhere in between.

  • Identify which Diwali legend a detail belongs to (and which it doesn’t)
  • Match key figures to their roles in the story
  • Connect rituals like lamps and fireworks to the themes behind them
  • Spot regional differences without losing the main narrative thread
  • Avoid common mix-ups in names, timelines, and motivations
