Member of a religion whose festivals include Diwali (5)

I believe the answer is:

hindu

(Other definitions for hindu that I've seen before include "Central Asian mountain range" , "Native of India" , "Follower of India's most popular religion" , "Religious believer" , "Man of religion" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
