THE FESTIVAL Of DIWALI (FESTIVAL OF LIGHT)

The word Diwali means "rows of lighted lamps."








The festival of Diwali is a five-day long celebration in Hinduism, Sikhism and Jainism.


People believe that the more candles they decorate their house with, the more chance there is of the Goddess Lakshmi to visit them and bring them good luck.



The festival of Diwali is a celebration of the famous Rama and Sita returning from their 14 year exile.
