Diwali Dhamaka, the Festival of Lights, is one of the most popular and important holidays in the Hindu religion. Recognized in most regions of India, Diwali marks the victory of good over evil and the beginning of the New Year. This past Saturday, the Hindu Student Council celebrated Diwali in the Rec Center. The event featured free food, live music and performances by various dance groups. Students and parents were in abundance, dressed in elaborate, classical Indian garb, such as kurtas for men and lehngas for women. Diwali Dhamaka was a joyous event that provided students with a welcoming spiritual outlet.
