Happy Festival of Lights!

Diwali is a five-day religious festival celebrated by Hindus, Buddhist, Sikhs and Jains across the globe. While observances differ among regions, the festival generally symbolizes ‘the spiritual victory of light over darkness, good over evil, and knowledge over ignorance’. (BBC. Para. 1)
