Big buzz in Little India over Deepavali
Shoppers picking up deals in Little India.
Brightly-coloured bazaars, temple visits and the bustling Little India light-up usher in the Hindu festival of Deepavali, which falls on Wednesday.
Also known as the Festival of Lights, Deepavali celebrates the triumph of light over darkness, and good over evil.
At home, families light oil lamps and decorate their floors with rangoli or kolam, traditional patterns made with coloured rice flour or powder.
Traditional goodies, from deep-fried murukku to sweets made from milk and ghee, are a staple of the celebrations.
