Diwali
or more aptly Deepavali, meaning 'row of lights' symbolizes the age-old
Vedic culture of India which teaches us to vanquish ignorance that subdues
humanity and to drive away darkness that engulfs the light of knowledge.
The lighting of lamps is a way of paying obeisance to God for attainment
of health, devotion, knowledge, and peace. This festival also symbolizes
the unity in diversity as every state in India celebrates in its own special
ways.
