In a nutshell, Diwali is a festival of physical and spiritual light celebrated on the 15th day of the Hindu month of Kartika. Diwali, also known as Deepavali signifies the victory of light over darkness, knowledge over ignorance, good over evil, and hope over despair (quoted from Jean Mead, How and Why do Hindus Celebrate Divali). Needless to say VivAsia joined in the celebration with songs and dances of traditional Indian music to Bollywood style flash mob dance.
