KARACHI: The Hindu community, especially in northern Sindh province of Pakistan, will celebrate their annual religious festival ‘Diwali’ tomorrow (Sunday) night like other parts of the country.
According to details, the Hindu community will celebrate the event with religious fervor and enthusiasm by decorating their houses and temples with lighting and flowers.
Diwali – the biggest festival of Hindus – often referred to as the ‘Festival of Lights’. It also marks the start of the new year for Hindus, the return of Lord Ram along with his wife, Sita, and brother, Lakshman, from a 14-year exile in Ayodhya.
The two- to three-day-long celebrations are preceded by pooja inside homes, known as Dhanteras. Homes are lit up with earthen lamps while rangoli (dyed rice) is used to craft patterns on the floor to welcome Lord Ram and his wife, Sita.
