The Indian Arrival Committee (IAC) in its Deepavali message called on everyone to heed the important messages brought on the occasion of the festival and urged all Guyanese to resist evil in all its forms.
And while extending greetings to all Guyanese, especially those who follow Hinduism on the occasion of the festival of Deepavali, the IAC also urged everyone to work together co-operatively and harmoniously for the economic development and growth of Guyana and for the national unity.”
Diwali means a row of lights and indeed illumination forms its main attraction, the IAC noted, as multi-coloured Rangoli forms, floral decorations and fireworks lend grandeur to this festival, which heralds joy, mirth and happiness in the coming year.
