Diwali - which commences on Thursday, October 19 - is known as the ‘Festival of Lights’ in the Hindu religion and traditionally sees an increase in the use of candles, ‘divas’ (oil lamps) and fireworks. These are used as a representation of light which is a symbol of ‘goodness’ and to ward off ‘darkness and evil’.
