Diwali in India: The Festival of Light

Diwali, also known as Deepavali, is one of the most important festivals in Hinduism. The holiday also has significance for Sikhs and Jains, and is celebrated not just in India, but in Nepal, Malaysia, Singapore and other countries with South Asian diasporas.

   

  

 

Diwali, one of the most important festivals in Hinduism, begins today with colorful customs and celebrations. It's generally celebrated for five days, with the biggest day being the third one. 

 

More and more major brands are recognizing the festival of lights, running ad campaigns and stocking products related to the holiday in the US. South Asian Americans who celebrate Diwali can now pick up fireworks from Costco, greeting cards from Hallmark and party decorations from Target. 

 

  

  

Handmade cards are the best!

  

I received this great handmade Halloween card from talented, thoughtful Seal Beach artist, Mitzi Winks. Mitzi was in a few of my classes at Catalyst in Westminster. One of the classes was making cards from recycled papers. Mitzi has been sending great cards ever since. Thank you. Mitzi!
