Happy Diwali to anyone who is celebrating today.

Diwali is a festival of lights and one of the major festivals celebrated by Hindus, Jains, Sikhs, and some Buddhists. Diwali represents the triumph of good over evil, light over darkness and wisdom over ignorance

For many people this five day festival honours Lakshmi, the goddess of wealth. Lamps are lit and windows and doors are left open to help Lakshmi find her way into people’s homes.
