Diwali, one of the most important holidays in India, is a Hindu Festival celebrating the triumph
of good over evil (Fink). The word Diwali directly means “rows of lighted lamps” (USA Today), and it
is a time where many wear bright, beautiful colours, as well as set off fireworks, enough to fill the en-
tire sky. Alongside the lights, Diwali is a time to worship the Hindu goddess of wealth, Lakshmi (Fink).
Furthermore, it is a time to feast with family and friends, and eat many delicious sweets. The celebra-
tion changes dates every year, similar to the way Western Easter changes, though Diwali lasts five
days with the main event occurring on the third day (USA Today).

This year Diwali was on October 27th, and following that, the Student’s Union hosted the
Diwali celebration on November 8th. Taken place at the PG Civic Centre, the celebration was a huge
success. Over twenty talented people performed on stage, including Bhangra dancers, a magician,
singers, and more. Even our very own Student Representative, Navjot, performed in Bhangra dance
despite his leg injury! To Navi, Amy, Guntas, and all of the performers from Diwali, give yourselves a
pat on the back, Diwali was fabulously executed and the most fun I’ve had in a while. The pictures
| took of Diwali surely will not do justice the brilliance of the colours and dances. To all those who
came out for this holiday, | hope you had as much fun as | did. From dazzling clothing, to excellent

food, to prizes, laughter, and fun— Diwali couldn't have been better.
