Happy Deepavali

Explored 26 October 2009 #447

 

Deepavali, the festival of light, is also known in some parts of the world as Diwali or Dipawali.

 

A Hindu festival celebrating the triumph of good over evil, one main feature is the many oil lamps lighted in Hindu homes during this festival.

 

Tomorrow is Deepavali, and I have a good number of friends who are ethnic Indians. To them, I wish you a happy Deepavali enjoyed with friends and family.

 

I do not have many photos of Deepavali, so I chose this little flame from Thaipusam, another Hindu festival.
