About Diwali

Diwali, the festival of lights, is a significant religious celebration observed by the Hindu community in Suriname. It symbolizes the spiritual victory of light over darkness, good over evil, and knowledge over ignorance. The holiday is marked by the lighting of traditional clay lamps, colorful rangoli designs, and prayers in homes and temples.
