Festivity for change

Diwali, the radiant Festival of Lights, epitomises India's spirit, illuminating homes and hearts alike. This ancient celebration unites individuals, filling the air with the delightful aroma of sweets, laughter, and the flickering glow of diyas (earthen oil lamps). Despite modern challenges, particularly in New Delhi where air quality issues arise seasonally, the fervour of Diwali remains unwavering.

The festival conveys a timeless message: light conquers darkness, unity transcends division, and hope rises above adversity. It serves as a cherished reminder that light can shine through in any circumstance, fostering connection and warmth. Rooted in India's rich cultural heritage, Diwali symbolises the triumph of light over darkness, knowledge over ignorance, and good over evil. While its origins are tied to Hindu, Sikh, Jain, and Buddhist traditions, Diwali's significance transcends religious boundaries, inviting global participation in joy, reflection, and renewal.

As the Indian diaspora expands, so does the celebration of Diwali, spreading its joyous light to all corners of the world. In places as diverse as Singapore, Fiji, Trinidad and Tobago, and Mauritius, where Diwali is a public holiday, and in cities like New York, London, and Sydney, where diverse communities widely celebrate it, Diwali has become a bridge between cultures. Global recognition of Diwali – whether through public observances, holiday festivals, or artistic displays – demonstrates the festival's power to unite and celebrate human resilience and joy.
