few words about himself !.... Divali Divali is the most important holiday in India, which is celebrated by all the inhabitants of India, not based on religion . We celebrate them Hindus, Muslims, Sikhs, Buddhists. In those days everyone become close to each other, there are no differences / boundaries between people. This festival is called the festival of lights, because in those days the brightness dominates the darkness, good over evil! Manifestation of this are the vast amount of candles ignited and discharged fireworks in the sky:) People pray to Goddess Lakshmi (the goddess of prosperity and wealth, as well as the god Ganesh - (god of success, any project), the front door houses usypuja marvelous and Rangoli people share huge amounts of sweets. The festival lasts five days and ends with a sumptuous fun!)
Our IPIS-ish Divali was similar:) gathered over 100 people (including more than half of the Hindu), who together celebrate this amazing day. Hall przecudownie dressed, amazing altar with the image of Lakshmi and Ganesh, everywhere pozapalane world, Indian music in the background, and this tasty Indian snacks.
