That's quite generous: I typed in Davos for the Filipino city, scrambling it with the Swiss one, and it gave a tick for Davao!

:-/ but I wasn't able to come up with an acceptable type-in for Denpasar. I think I had a few vowels and consonants switched around. Also feel dumb for missing Darjeeling.

Sort of raising my hand. I knew if from MY office, not The Office, where many of my co-workers are consultants from India.

Djilas has a point - I was surprised by the answer (which I got) as well. It's a bit like asking for the name of the Japanese government and expecting "government" as an answer.

Diwali is also known as Deepavali in a large part of India. Could that be an acceptable answer?

+1. Infact Deepavali is the more proper Sanskrit name. Deepavali literally means a series of earthen lamps, which is what we decorate our homes with at Deepavali (or atleast used to before cheap Chinese lights).

Can you make Darjiling a type-in for Darjeeling. A lot of places use this spelling alternatively.
