THEME:”Diwali”
Diwali, also called Deepavali or Dipawali, the Hindu
festival of lights, is the most popular and special of all Hindu festivals. It
is also an occasion for celebration by *Jains and *Sikhs.
The festival of Diwali extends over five days. The date of Diwali is
set by the Hindu calendar so it varies in the Western calendar. It usually
falls in October or November and because of the lights, fireworks and sweets
involved, it's a great favourite with children.
The festival celebrates the victory of good over evil, light over
darkness and knowledge over ignorance, although the actual legends that go with
the festival are different in different parts of India.
*In Jainism people come together over three days and celebrate the
Nirvana of Lord Mahavira and welcome in the New Year. Whereas for Sikhs, Diwali
celebrates the release of the Guru, HargobindJi from imprisonment and people
celebrate by lighting the way to the Golden Temple.
With keeping
this theme in mind a general meeting was organized in VIT Toastmasters which
was initiated by SAA Tm Rishabh introducing the basic rules of meeting.
The TMOD Tm Yash initiated
