Another year, another Diwali, as November approached I could see a piece from last year on this Indian holiday getting a second life.
This year actually the holiday starts on November 9 as the Diwali Festival site informed me.
It offers details on The Five Days of Diwali, Dantheras, Choti Diwali, Lakshmi Puja, Govardhan Puja and Bhai Duj.
Learn about the legends associated to it such as Rama Return to Ayodhya and find out where festivals are taking place.
If you want to look at the light side of things check the Diwali Songs or maybe you just want to get cooking with these Diwali Recipes.
