Story

Triumph of light

Diwali is the ancient Hindu ‘festival of lights’. Observed by millions of people in India and around the world, the annual five-day festival represents the triumph of light over darkness. Celebrated with candles and lamps, fireworks, family feasts and the exchange of many gifts, Diwali is also a time to pay homage to Hindu deities, including Lakshmi, the goddess of wealth, and Ganesha, the god of good fortune.
