Diwali festivities start on November 14 this year - a five day holiday celebration. It is the Hindu festival of lights, originating in India as a harvest festival, and now celebrated all over the world.

Diwali signifies the victory of light over darkness, good over evil, knowledge over ignorance, hope over despair. With the Biden/Harris win in the US elections we have cause to celebrate all these with joyous abandon.
In 1927 the Holland Tunnel under the Hudson River opened to the public, connecting New York City and New Jersey - our home for the past decade.
We mark the occasion by lighting candles and special incense, stringing up lights and major clean ups, dressing up and offering our prayers as we celebrate with family and loved ones.
May love and light bless us and happy Diwali to all!
