Celebrating Diwali
Diwali is celebrated by Hindus, Sikhs, Jains, and Buddhists around the world! It’s also know as Deepavali, the “Festival of Lights”.
HinduAmerican.Org describes the holiday:
The word ‘Deepavali’ derives from Sanskrit and means “row of lights.” Festivities include the illumination of lights, candles, firecrackers, and diya (clay lamps) to symbolize the victory of good over evil, inner light over spiritual darkness, and knowledge over ignorance. Diwali is a time for gathering with loved ones, celebrating life, and committing to making the right decisions in life.
Each of the 5 days of Diwali has a special significance. Learn about the joyous way to celebrate here!
