Deepavali celebrations are in full swing in Little India in Singapore. Deepavali falls on the 22nd of October this year and the streets of Little India have been lit up with elaborate decorations that captivate the crowds at night. Large temporary markets are both crowded with stall holders selling decorations and food for the festival as well as people shopping for the celebration.
Deppavali is also known as the Festival of lights and is the most important festival in Hinduism. The festival is the celebration of good over evil and light overcoming darkness.
