Thanks to Anjk and Birendra Nepal for the heads up that this wonderful festival is now underway. I had a post lined up for what I believe is the first official day tomorrow ( Thurs 23rd)

Otherwise known as Dipawali or The Festival of Lights it’s the most important festival in the Indian calendar that now has huge significance for all religions across the whole country. Thanks are given for the harvest, many lights are lit and many sweets are prepared and eaten with great delight. Not to mention a solid buying session of gold leading into this week.

The festival celebrates the victory of good over evil, light over darkness and knowledge over ignorance, and that’s something we can all strive for in these uncertain days

So, as I said last year, to all our many Indian readers celebrating this festival wherever you are in the world, Shubh Dipawali from all of us in the ForexLive community!

We would love to see any of your photos, which can be sent in the comments thread, and I will post up a selection for us all to enjoy.

Shubh Dipawali  to all our readers
