How is u celebrate Eid at ur country?
Like me, at Malaysia we will back to our parents’ hometown and celebarate it will all of our native. Like u all, at morning go to mosque to solat. And then, back we will visit family, friends, enemy etc. Our traditions are new clothes, open house, duit raya ( gift in money ) etc. This year is third years we celebrate together with Hindus because Deepavali at same week with Eid ul Fitr. Eid at Malaysia is something very pleasant becos we will celebrate it for one month ( hehehe… that why Muslim at Malaysia like to celebrate all celebration with their friends either Muslim or non ).

How about u?

holiday? I heard there was an issue that the Gov. would declare next Monday, 19th Oct an extra Deepavali holiday, to be fair the Hindus. But im just curious, has this been confirmed?
most schools are closed on Monday

Here in Fiji islands, the hindus invite their non hindu friends and neighbors to their place at night for sweets and dinner. Is it the same in india?

I hope Indians at YA could answer some of my questions pertaining to Deepavali celebration.

(a) what are the rituals ( in sequence if possible ) on the eve and on Deepavali day and their significances ?

(b) i know it is about celebrating good ( Lord Krishna ) over evil ( what’s his name ), perhaps some information about both of them and maybe a pic of Lord Krishna

(c) what is the name of the costume worn by men ( the white sarong like ) on Deepavali ?

(d) what are the type of foods served during Deepavali

(c) i know Deepavali is celebrated over a 5 days period and each day has it’s significance and rituals , what are they ?

i hope someone would answer from his/her own experience not from Wikipedia or other websites. Thank you and to all Hindus , HAPPY DEEPAVALI

I like Sikhs, but i don’t know the basic reason behind this that sikhs also celebrate this festival like Hindus. Is their any other story behind this.

Diwali is the Hindu festival of lights and is celebrated all over the world by Hindus. I heard that President George W. Bush was going to light a lamp in the White House to recognize this event this year

I’m doing a project and I need to know why Hindus eat certain sweets and the religious purpose it serves so please include a web site where i can obtain this info.
