Get ready to celebrate the festival of Diwali next month.
Held over five days, the festival celebrates the spiritual victory of light over darkness, good over evil and knowledge over ignorance.
Whittlesea’s Diwali celebrations will be held online from Thursday, November 4, to Tuesday, November 9.
During Diwali, people decorate their homes with earthen oil-filled lamps and design beautiful rangoli, or patterns on the ground using coloured rice flour, quartz powder, coloured sand and flower petals.
