Deepavali / Diwali

Deepavali is the most important of all Hindu festivals. It is celebrated by Hindus worldwide every year.

Deepavali is also known as the “Festival of Lights,” and the holiday abounds with all manner of colourful lights displays in public and numerous clay lamps to light up private homes. This is meant to symbolise the Hindu religious concept of “light conquering darkness.”

Deepavali is typically marked by a display of lights in the 'Little India' district, which is where the Indian community are mainly located. Other activities such as bazaars, exhibitions, parades and concerts will also take place in Little India.
