Bandi Chhorh Divas
💡 Explanation:

Sikhs call Diwali 'Bandi Chhorh Divas' meaning 'Day of Liberation' commemorating Guru Hargobind's release from Gwalior Fort prison along with 52 other kings. While 'Deepavali' is the original Sanskrit term, 'Bhau Beej' and 'Naraka Chaturdashi' are different Hindu observances.
