Starchild: Malaysian children send their Deepavali greetings


Msherman Singh, 9

Deepavali is an important festival mainly celebrated by Hindus, Jains, Sikhs and some Buddhists. It is known as the Festival of Lights, a celebration of the triumph of good over evil.

Usually, Hindus will get up early in the morning to take an oil bath, symbolic of cleansing oneself. They would then pray as a family at home or worship in the temple. Kolam (or rangoli), beautiful intricate floor designs made with dyed rice and colourful powders, decorate homes.
