Australia is all set to celebrate Diwali
Indian Diaspora is getting ready to celebrate Diwali, the “festival of lights,” after a particularly dark year. On November 4th, Hindus, Jains, and Sikhs worldwide will commemorate the occasion, which honours new beginnings and the triumph of good over evil. On top of long-term local lockdowns in Australia, the Australian population has also had to endure friends and family dealing with India’s terrible second wave of COVID-19.
Following the lifting of the curfew in several Australian states, residents are preparing to celebrate by lighting up their houses and gathering for a feast. While there may be fewer celebrations than usual due to limits on house visits, many people are looking forward to seeing their friends and family again.
