Deepavali - Festival of Lights

Deepavali, popularly known as the Festival of Lights, is looked upon by many Hindus as the beginning of a New Year. It is in recognition of the triumph of good over evil. The word "Deepavali" is a combination of the words 'Dipa' and 'Gavali', the former meaning 'light' and the latter meaning 'a row'. Thus symbolizing the rows of lights that can be seen at the houses of Hindu celebrants. As light dispels darkness, this festival thus symbolizes the victory of good over evil.

Well, though celebrated by the Hindus, I must admit that I had quite a Deepavali myself this year. Visited Little India at Serangoon Road last night and was there while the Hindus celebrants count down to their New Year. Very insightful. There were so many people and they were so happy. Shops were lined with lotsa goodies and there were also some bazaars going on. Can find many nice indian jewelleries and ornaments there. There were shops selling saris and punjabi suits too. Very pretty. Almost wanted to get myself a set but not sure of the pricing and afraid to be overcharged for it, hence refrained. Did the Mehendi Artwork though. On my right ankle. Very nice.

Originated from North Afica, India & Pakistan, Mehendi (Henna Tattoo, also known as Mehndi) is an ancient Indian Body Art. It is used in creating intricate ethnic or contemporary designs and exotic patterns, with a henna, tea and essential oil mixture, on various parts of the body, though traditionally applied to the hands and feet of women preparing for special ceremonies. These temporary designs of a nestic brown colour last about one to three weeks. Henna comes from leaves of a henna plant called Lasonia Inermis.

When the clock struck twelve, almost evceryone celebrated by whistling, dancing and playing with the light sparklers or popping streamers. Pretty fun. This is my first time in direct celebration of a Hindu festival and I really enjoy it. Perhaps should go for more cross-racial celebration in future!
