About this event
Diwali is a Hindu Festival of Lights, celebrated to honor Rama-chandra, the seventh avatar (incarnation of the god Vishnu). The celebration features Indian folk-dances, socializing, and delicious food!
On this day Rama returned to his kingdom after 14 years of exile during which he fought and won a battle against the demons and the demon king, Ravana. Diwali also has a special significance in Jainism. It marks the anniversary of Nirvana or liberation of Mahavira’ssoul, the 24th Jain Tirthankara of present cosmic age and celebrated at the same time.
Dancers are: AK, Dolly, Raksha, Renu, and Lakshmi
