Known as the Festival of Lights, Diwali observes happiness, joy and light.
Shivani Raina is with the Main Line Indian Association and says the holiday originated with the story of a king fighting off a demon.
“To welcome back Lord Rama, who left the kingdom for 14 years, and had fought a big battle and was coming back to his kingdom,” Raina said.
She says the celebration is about being with family and friends, eating, dancing and singing– and rejoicing in life.
