Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that Tihar is the same as Diwali?

Yes. One book states outright that Tihar and Diwali are the same holiday, and reference sources note that Nepal's Diwali climax is called Tihar and that Madheshi communities call it Dipawali.
