Deepavali- Festival of lights

This month the Indian population in Singapore are celebrating Deepavali which translates to mean row of lights but is better known as the festival of lights.

Rows of oil lanterns are lit to welcome the goddess of wealth, Lakshmi


This festival celebrates the victory of good over evil and it also celebrates the Hindu New Year. Little India is the place to go to see all the lights and action. People celebrating Deepavali wear new clothes (the brighter the color the better) and will share sweets and snacks with family and friends.
