Diwali is the biggest festival of India and is celebrated with great enthusiasm all over the country. But did you know, India is not the only place that celebrates the festival of lights. Although Diwali is largely an Indian festival in Australia, often referred to as the Festival of Lights, Diwali is the most important annual celebration celebrated by Hindus, Sikhs, Jains and Buddhists around the world. The five-day festival is designed to welcome new beginnings before the arrival of the new moon.
People in Australia celebrate Diwali with great pomp. Since 1998, the Hindu Council of Australia has been celebrating Deepawali in a very interesting and reverent manner.
