The most famous and widely celebrated Diwali festival in South India is the "Deepavali" festival. 

Deepavali, also known as Diwali, is a significant Hindu festival celebrated with great enthusiasm and grandeur in various South Indian states. It typically falls in the months of October or November.

While the traditions and customs of Deepavali are similar to those in other parts of India, South India has its unique cultural and regional variations. Some of the prominent states in South India where Deepavali is celebrated with fervor include Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Kerala, Andhra Pradesh, and Telangana.

In Tamil Nadu, The Meenakshi Amman Temple in Madurai is renowned for its spectacular Diwali celebrations, attracting devotees and tourists from all over the country.

In Karnataka, especially in the city of Mysore, the illuminated Mysore Palace and a grand procession are key attractions during Diwali.

In Kerala, Deepavali is marked by lighting lamps and bursting fireworks, and it is celebrated with a focus on family and community gatherings.

Andhra Pradesh and Telangana also celebrate Diwali with traditional oil lamps, colorful rangoli designs, and family get-togethers.

While the ways of celebrating Deepavali in South India may vary from state to state, the underlying essence of the festival as a triumph of light over darkness and good over evil remains the same.
