Diwali 2015: The Festival Of Light, In Beautiful Pictures

Diwali is a major annual festival celebrated by Hindus, Sikhs and Jains. It’s a colourful, vivid celebration of light over darkness, knowledge over ignorance and hope over despair. Homes and shops are illuminated with hundreds of candles, streets and temples are adorned with flowers and doorways are decorated with beautiful rangoli (patterns created on the floor, from coloured rice, sand and flower petals).
