Diwali prayers at the Sree Veera Hanuman Temple

Deepavali (also spelled Divali in few countries) or Diwali, popularly known as the festival of lights,
is an important five-day festival in Hinduism, Sikhism, and Jainism, occurring between mid-October and mid-November.

The name Diwali is itself a contraction of the word "Deepavali" (Sanskrit: दीपावली Dīpāvali),
which translates into row of lamps. Diwali involves the lighting of small clay lamps (diyas)
(or Deep in Sanskrit: दीप) filled with oil to signify the triumph of good over evil.

In each legend, myth and story of Deepawali lies the significance of the victory of good over evil;
and it is with each Deepawali and the lights that illuminate our homes and hearts,
that this simple truth finds new reason and hope.

From darkness unto light — the light that empowers us to commit ourselves to good deeds,
that which brings us closer to divinity.
