diwalli
i was asked the other day what Diwalli (or Deepavali was); i didn't remember at the time, all i could recall was that it was a festival of lights, of lamps and candles. today i remember it is the start of the hindu new year, a commemmoration of the return of Rama to Ayodhya after a 14-year exile. the lamps are lit to celebrate the triumph of good over evil, and to celebrate the glory of light.
and there you go.
