Celebrating Diwali, the Festival of Lights
Today also marks the start of Diwali, one of the most celebrated Hindu festivals, though it’s also observed by several other faiths.
Known as the Festival of Lights, this five-day festival marks the new year in the Hindu calendar, and commemorates the victory of good over evil. Rows of oil lamps are often lit outside of homes to mark the prevalence of light over darkness. Traditional celebrations include parties, fireworks displays, feasts, and prayers.
In Naperville, there will be an Diwali party held at Absolute BBQ, 5019 Ace Ln., #103, from 7 p.m. to 11 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 2. The event will feature a full buffet, DJ, dancing, and karaoke, and will be a fundraiser to benefit local nonprofit Holy Mission. Ticket information is available on the event website.
