Happy Diwali! Let's explore how this Festival of Lights is celebrated globally: Nepal honors Goddess Lakshmi with rice flour mandalas, while Malaysia's Sri Mahamariamman Temple glows with intricate oil lamp patterns. The celebrations showcase the beauty of diverse cultural expressions. In Fiji, the Indian diaspora hosts week-long festivities with magical boat parades of floating diyas. Trinidad & Tobago adds its unique flair with bamboo benders - stunning archways adorned with lights. What unites all celebrations? Light conquering darkness, family bonds, sweet treats, and pure joy!
