QUEENSLAND DIWALI INDIAN FESTIVAL OF LIGHTS
BACKGROUND Diwali, also known as Deepavali (literally a row of lamps), is one of India's best-loved festivals. It is an ancient Hindu tradition symbolising the triumph of light over darkness; good over evil; and the renewal of life. The festival is a time of great celebration for Indian people all over the world. Known commonly as The Festival of Lights, families light small oil lamps (diyas) and candles around their home and set off Firecrackers and Fireworks. Traditionally, Diwali is celebrated for five days, and takes place at the new moon on the 15th day of the Hindu month of Kartik or Karthika (October / November). This is at the beginning of the winter season and is called the darkest night of the year, with the glow of the Diwali diyas brightening the moonless night. Originally a Hindu festival, Diwali now signifies different things in different areas of India. For example, in Gujarat, the festival honors Laxmi, the goddess of wealth. In north India, it celebrates the god Rama's homecoming to the kingdom of Ayodhya after a 14-year exile. To light his way and rejoice at his return, the people of the ancient city of Ayodhya illuminated the city with earthen diyas and fireworks.

QUEENSLAND DIWALI INDIAN FESTIVAL OF LIGHTS
TAJ MAHAL THEME In order to create a unique and inclusive Diwali Celebration, the ICSC has selected a theme and symbol to represent our unified message – the Taj Mahal. The Taj Mahal in Agra is widely known as one of the Seven Wonders of the World. But what you may or may not know is that it was built completely in the name of love. The ICSC feels that this embodies their initiative to establish connections of love; kinship; cultural diversity; and cultural exchange – to strengthen the bonds between our local and wider communities. The story bridge in our Diwali event represents a bond between two cultures and our attempt to acknowledge and recognise the australian communities.
