Festival of LIGHTS

On Diwali night, little clay lamps are lit in Hindus homes, but now a days colored electric lamps are also used.
What is the significance of lighting a lamp?
There is a logical answer to this question. (dot's thots: DUH!!!)
It is through the light that the beauty of this world is revealed or experienced. Most civilizations of the world recognize the importance of light as a gift of God. It has always been a symbol of whatever is positive in our world of experience.

PLAGIARIZED from SCFI (Society for the Confluence of Festivals in India)

in a MUHIBAH country, we have ALL SORTS of holidays... and we celebrate all sorts of festivals (in our own way that is... FOOD! :P)
what better way to celebrate the Festival of Lights than to be a LIGHT to our very own community??
