Celebrating Diwali

October 20

For those in our community celebrating, we wish you a wonderful day.

 

Diwali is the “Festival of Lights,” a major holiday celebrated by Hindus, Jains, and Sikhs that symbolizes the triumph of light over darkness and good over evil. The name comes from the Sanskrit word deepavali, meaning “row of lights,” referring to the oil lamps and candles lit in homes and streets. Celebrations include feasts, prayers, family gatherings, and fireworks, often coinciding with the start of the new year for many.
