Lim Jo Ern, 7

Deepavali, which was celebrated yesterday, is an important religious festival here in Malaysia. It is mainly celebrated by those of the Hindu faith, but around the world, Sikhs, Jains and some Buddhists also observe the Festival of Lights, which marks the triumph of good over evil.

There are several Deepavali customs. On Deepavali, or Diwali, families would get up early in the morning to take an oil bath, symbolic of cleansing and purifying one’s body and mind.
