Diwali on Wednesday 7
November 2018
Diwali is perhaps the most well-known of the Hindu
festivals. The word Diwali means 'rows of lighted lamps'.
Diwali is known as the 'festival of lights' because
houses, shops and public places are decorated with small
earthenware oil lamps called divas.
This year we did not
have a special programme to celebrate Diwali as it fell
on a Thursday and both weekends either side were booked
with other events (on 3 November was the National
Birthday Celebration programme, and the following weekend
was the Akhand Bhajans)
