Diwali!

From 2- 3:30 Sunday afternoon, the meeting rooms of the Franklin Public Library became boisterous and celebratory venues for a Diwali celebration,  including crafts, music, color, henna, and more. Diwali is the Hindu festival of lights, the spiritual "victory of light over darkness, good over evil, and knowledge over ignorance" celebrated during the Hindu lunisolar months of Ashvin (according to the amanta tradition) and Kartika—between around mid-September and mid-November.
