SUKKUR, (UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 8th Nov, 2023) The Hindu community will celebrate “Diwali” (a festival of lights) from November 12 across the northern Sindh like other parts of the country.
Hindus will light up earthen lamps and candles in the night and fireworks will also be exhibited to celebrate the festival.
Special “Pooja” will be held in different temples while sweets will also be distributed among the people during the celebration of religious custom of Hinduism.
They will also celebrate the festival by decorating their houses, exchanging gifts and offering prayers (pooja) to commemorate the victory of light over darkness, good over evil, and knowledge over ignorance.
“Diwali” is celebrated at the end of the month of autumn in memory of the return of Lord Rama, who had spent 14 years in exile during which he fought and won a battle against King Ravan.
The festival is celebrated for five days and also marks the start of the new year of Hindu Calendar.
