Happy Diwali. I've always pronounced this "deevarley" by the way...is this correct?


Diwali is the biggest and most famous of the Hindu festivals. The word Diwali means 'rows of lighted lamps', and Diwali is known as the 'festival of lights' because houses, shops and public places are decorated with small earthenware oil lamps called diyas. Diwali is celebrated in India, Malaysia, Singapore, Mauritius, Sri Lanka, Myanmar and Nepal, and by Hindu communities all over the world, including Britain.


Now i wonder if the usual suspects will come in here and trash this thread like they normally do with the Eid threads??
