Happy Deepavali (Diwali) !!! | Photo 02 by iprahin on flickr.com

Explore, October 14, 2009 #284

The Sanskrit word Deepavali means "festival of lights" or spiritually "the awareness of the inner light". In India and Nepal, Diwali typically marks the end of the harvest season. In Hinduism, across many parts of India and Nepal, it is the homecoming of Rama after a 14-year exile in the forest and his victory over Ravana.

Upper Serangoon Road in Little India (Singapore) is lit up each year for a month-long celebration, culminating in a national holiday on the 17th October.
