Most diverse country but Diwali is a festival of Unity... its celebrate all communities & wishing each other on the special moment. happy diwali to all of you.

Superb pictures Dawn as usual . I would have appreciated more if only people's wisdom light up brightly and understand the real meaning of each and every religion. The religion doesn't mean anything if it's not understood and practiced properly, doesn't matter which religion it is. Otherwise only brighter pictures remain.

DAWN much better than any Indian News Media.

Congrats dawn...lovely pictures!

Here are the reasons why different religion celebrate Diwali in India and this unites them! EXCELLENT PICTURES! Hinduism - This is the time in which there is a conquering of evil by good, and darkness by the light. Victory of Rama over Ravana. Goddess Laxmi's Birthday is on same day as well. Sikhism - Sikhs celebrates the release of the sixth Prophet (Guru Hargobind) and also he smartly had 52 other princes released as well with him. And it was also on the same auspicious occasion of Diwali when the foundation stone of the Golden Temple at Amritsar was laid in 1577. Buddhism - People of Buddhist religion from across the world celebrate Diwali as an auspicious day. It is a day when Buddhists everywhere will chant mantras to remember Lord Buddha. Jainism - The Jains celebrate Diwali as a remembrance of Lord Mahavir and his teachings. Muslims/ Christians/others - They celebrate not for religious reasons but for cultural reasons especially when Diwali is a huge national holiday.

Thanks Dawn. Every year you brings wonderful picture coverage of Diwali to its readers. If there is any competition in this regard, definitely you will win for this impartial coverage. Thanks once again.

I admire Dawn for this kind of coverage and spreading goodwill.

DAWN, I am very glad to see all these pic. Very Nice !!!!

wowww....so many colors.... :) well done.........congrats

Thank you DAWN. I admire that you have always showcased the lives of the masses and common people rather than those of the self-focused so called 'celebrities'.

I read Dawn every day because it carries more good news about my native India than many Indian newspapers. Your photos of Diwali celebrations and Ganesh festival sometime ago filled my heart with joy. Keep it up Dawn. You are the No. one of the sub-continent.

Vitnessed this festival first time 15 years ago as a student in Singapore, or should I say colorful Indians.
