The Sungum requests the Hindu community celebrating this auspicious festival to please not forget less fortunate children and remember to send a tray of sweetmeats and savouries to the collection point.
Hindus throughout the world will be celebrating Diwali or Deepawali, The Festival of Lights, next Wednesday.
The festival symbolises the victory of righteousness and the lifting of spiritual darkness.
The word Diwali refers to rows of clay lamps.
This year’s celebration is on the 15th day of Kartika, according to the Hindu calendar, and it commemorates Lord Rama’s return to his kingdom Ayodhya after completing his 14-year exile.
The Sungum would like to wish all who celebrate the festival, a joyous and prosperous Deepawali.
