9 ноября в Индии начнется Дивали (Diwali) ведический праздник огней, посвященный Лакшми, богине счастья и изобилия.
В течение пяти дней индусы со всего мира зажигают в своих домах и на улицах огни, чтобы ослепить силы зла и приветствовать светлых богов. Для того, чтобы привлечь Лакшми, индусы покупают сладости и ювелирные украшения, а также устраивают фейерверки и народные гуляния.
