Diwali 2015 - The Hindu Festival of Lights

Diwali also known as Deepavali, Dipavali, Dewali, or Deepawali, or the Festival of Lights, marks the beginning of the Hindu New Year. It is celebrated on the 15th of Kartika (October/November) in the Hindu calendar. Diwali celebrations can last for about five days. This year it will start on 11th November. 

On Monday 9th November some of our students who celebrate Diwali will share with us some of the activities that Hindu love to do during this festival week such as tasting Indian sweets, designing Rangoli patterns and listening to The Story of Rama and Sita.
