Deepavali, the Festival of Lights, is the most important festival in the Hindu Calendar. Hindus all over the world celebrate the victory of good over evil, light over darkness. Oil lamps are lit to thank the Gods for happiness, knowledge, health and wealth received.
During this season, the temples and streets in Little India are lit with streamers and dazzling lights to welcome one and all. The Sri Veeramakaliamman, Sri Vadapathira Kaliamman and Sri Srinivasa Perumal temples are decorated with spectacular display lights as the whole of Serangoon Road dazzles to usher in Deepavali.
Meanwhile, Campbell Lane is transformed into a festive bazaar, buzzling with stalls offering colourful Indian outfits, intricate jewellery, costumes and arts and craft. Indian delicacies are also found in abundance for shoppers who are looking for a bite after a night of shopping.
