Diwali, which falls on Oct. 24 this year, is feted by Hindus, Jains, Sikhs and Buddhists....
Sweets are an important part of Diwali Monday, Oct. 25, 2021, at BAPS Shri Swaminarayan Mandir in Stafford.Diwali, the festival of lights, celebrates the triumph of good over evil, knowledge over ignorance, hope over despair.
Diwali – derived from the Sanskrit word “dipavali,” which translates to “row of lights” – centers on the story of Lord Rama defeating the demon Ravana. After the victory, Rama and his wife Sita finally return to their kingdom Ayodhya. In other parts of India, Diwali centers on Rama’s return after an exile imposed by his evil stepmother or the victory of Lord Krishna over the demon king Narakasura. Some celebrate Lord Vishnu’s banishment of King Bali. Most also honor Lakshmi, or Laxmi, the Hindu goddess of wealth and good fortune, during Diwali.
The festival culminated with the burning of effigies of Ravan, Kumbhakaran and Meghnath, all key figures to the Diwali stories. Bhatt said the display at ISKCON should not be missed. “The entire altar is covered in candles,” he said. In the past, he has counted more than 1,000.
