[Edited extract from public address]
Diwali's moniker as the 'Festival of Lights' refers the symbolic triumph of light over darkness - where light symbolises knowledge and goodness, and darkness symbolises ignorance and evil.
Celebrations echo this symbolism in many ways: temples, homes, shops and even office buildings are brightly illuminated during Diwali, and each household lights ceremonial candles and oil lamps.
During Diwali, people make a Rangoli which is a geometric Hindu artform characterised by its bright colours, made with materials such as flowers, rice, and sand.
