Nov 5 - 21 I am in India for an Astrophysics conference, and posts may reflect that.
The largest festival in India is Diwali, or the 'Festival of Lights'. The festival is marked by many colourful celebrations, including many fireworks. The smoke from all the fireworks causes the city to be engulfed in smoke for many days, and pollution levels can reach quite dangerous levels.
Bonus:
The largest ever evacuation took place in Kuwait during the 1900s, during the Persion Gulf war. Roughly 175,500 Indians were airlifted out of the war-zone through 488 specially chartered passenger flights.
