Diwali is the Hindu festival of
lights. It is traditionally marked by
placing decorated oil lamps (each
called a ‘deepa’ in rows (‘avali’) –
hence the Sanskrit name, ‘Deepavali’.
The festival celebrates the
victory of good over evil, light
over darkness and knowledge
over ignorance. Diwali is also celebrated
by Jains and Sikhs. Happy
Diwali!
