Did You Know?
October 26

It’s Diwali!

Today is Lakshmi Puja / Diwali, the 3rd of the 5 days of the Diwali festival.

The third day of Diwali is the highlight of the festival, when families light their oil lamps, symbolizing the illumination of knowledge.

It is on this day that the Goddess Laskhmi is worshipped, calling on her to bring wealth and prosperity, and to triumph over evil and darkness.

May You Have a Happy, Bright, and Prosperous Diwali,
Louie and the Holiday Elves
