On Friday 9th November, we will be having a
diwali evening, with a takeaway vegan Indian meal, at the
Friends' Meeting-house.
Diwali is a major festival and is very significant in Hinduism, Sikhism and Jainism - the Festival of Lights. It symbolises the victory of good over evil, and lamps and nightlights are lit as a sign of celebration and hope. Fireworks are also associated with the festival. Diwali begins on 9th November in 2007 and continues for five days. To Hindus and Sikhs it is a celebration of life and a time for family and friends. It is one of the most important and popular Hindu festivals. Diwali is now more of a national festival in India, and can be enjoyed by everyone, and it is widely celebrated in the UK. Hindus, Sikhs and Jains are vegetarians.
Please book in advance and before 07.11.07; cost per person £5.00.
