Diwali – Sunday 27th October 2019
Diwali, meaning ‘festival of lights’, is one of the most widely celebrated occasions in the year. Diwali is observed not only by Hindus but also by Buddhists, Jains and Sikhs.
The central theme for Hindus is derived from the epic Ramayana, but the festival also marks the traditional New Year’s Eve.
Diwali is celebrated with elaborate firework displays, candles and lamps.
