Title: diwali 1 View count: 15 Rating: 0 (0 ratings) Description: Diwali Celebration On Saturday, October 17, we will celebrate the Hindu festival of lights: Diwali. Throughout India and other countries, Hindus, Sikhs, Jains and Buddhists light hundreds of thousands of small oil lamps called diyas (candles and electric lights are also used) in their houses and neighborhoods. For some, the light of these diyas is meant to welcome Lakshmi, Goddess of wealth and prosperity for the New Year. To all, the light symbolizes the triumph of light over darkness, good over evil, justice over injustice, and knowledge over ignorance.
