Diwali Celebrations & Seva Day

Diwali, the Festival of Lights, is one of the most sacred and widely celebrated holidays in the Hindu tradition. It symbolizes the victory of light over darkness, wisdom over ignorance, and goodness over evil. Traditionally associated with the return of Lord Rama to Ayodhya after years of exile, as well as the worship of Goddess Lakshmi, Diwali is a time for lighting lamps, cleansing one’s home and heart, and welcoming abundance in its highest sense — spiritual clarity and inner wealth.
