SLU students celebrate Diwali, the Hindu Festival of Lights that ultimately signifies the victory of good over evil, by lighting sparklers above. To celebrate this festival, Hindus attend a religious ritual that honors Lord Rama’s return after 14 years along with his wife, Sita, after being exiled. As the “good” forces are symbolized by light, Diwali is also celebrated by lighting lamps and fireworks. -Chandana Kamaraj, Associate Arts Editor
