In India, in these days is the Festival of Light, the most important celebration of the year: Diwali. It commerates the victorious return of Rama, the manifestation of the Divinity Vishnu, in his capital, Ayodhya, after 14 years of exile and wandering. Therefore, today is a sybolic celebration of the return of the Light to its original home: the victory of good over evil. It is customary to light lamps and candles during the feast, which are traditionally called diya. In many areas of India there are light shows. Project Udisha in Mubai has invited everyone to “light a lamp on the front porch to remind us of the victory of Love, which is in our hearts and which we want to make grwo towards all, beginning with our own family.” See the Facebook page UDISHA PROGETTO MUMBAI INDIA
