Diwali 18 Oct 2024
Diwali, also
known as Deepawali, or the Festival of Lights,
symbolises the triumph of good over evil, light over darkness and new
beginnings. It is India’s most important holiday and marks the start of
the Hindu New Year.
Diwali
means ‘row of lights’ in Sanskrit, the sacred language of
Hinduism.
We at NPS
are quite particular about celebrating all the festivals together. This time,
we celebrated Diwali at a get together wherein we played games and exchanged
gifts.
All
employees from both English and Gujarati medium gathered together to bond,
share sweets and to celebrate Diwali. It is one of the biggest festivals for
Indians, celebrated with much enthusiasm and devotion, as it signifies the
victory of good over evil.
The festival
is celebrated by lighting up homes, businesses and community centres with
candles, oil lamps and decorative lights.
Diwali is a
celebration of righteousness over sinfulness, knowledge over ignorance and
light over darkness. We are proud to be an organization that celebrates
diversity, knowledge and distinctiveness. We have never felt more connected or
supported as a team (even when we are not physically together) and this Diwali
feels like a celebration of that feeling.
Wishing a
very Happy Diwali to all of you!
