Diwali is one of the most popular festivals in Hinduism and is celebrated by devotees all over the world. This year’s event officially started on November 4, 2021, with restrictions to fight the Covid-19 pandemic still in place. But many were doing their best to celebrate the “festival of lights'' marking the ancient story of the Hindu god Rama’s return home after 14 years in exile. Symbolising the triumph of light over darkness and good over evil, Diwali is observed not only in India, but also in Indonesia, Pakistan and other places around the world where Hindus gather in temples and homes brightly decorated for the five-day festival which ends on November 6.
