| Welcome |
| Divali Nagar Inc was formed in September of 2008 here in Ft Lauderdale Florida. The first celebration took place at the prestigious Broward Cricket Park in Lauderhill, Florida for Divali 2008. There were dances, songs, music, food and other entertainment for all. This was the foundation for the now vibrant and functional Divali Nagar committee here in the USA. Celebrations this year will be from Thursday October 28th - Saturday October 30th 2010. Now that we had the largest crowd ever assembled for an event of this type in this continent, we are celebrating Divali 2010 from Thursday October 28th-Saturday October 30th 2010. |
| What is Divali? |
|
| The word Dipavali literally translates as a row of lamps in Sanskrit[1]. It is traditional for adherents of Diwali-celebrating faiths to light small clay lamps (or Deep in Sanskrit. filled with oil to signify the triumph of good over evil within an individual. During Diwali, many wear new clothes and share sweets/snacks with each other. Some Indian business communities start their financial year by opening new account books on the first day of Diwali for good luck the following year.(source from wikipedia:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diwali) |
