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.
Patchy rain nearby, with a high of 75 and low of 56 degrees. Overcast for the morning, cloudy during the afternoon, overcast overnight.
