LONDON, ONT -- The London Hindu community celebrates Diwali, The Hindu festival of lights, in small numbers to follow proper COVID-19 protocols, on Saturday afternoon.
The Hindu community have previously gathered in large numbers to hold a grand celebration in St. Thomas, but this year, those numbers were limited to prevent the possible spread of COVID-19.
While the festival of lights is different this year, members still enjoyed a Royal Lunch in St. Thomas, with live music performed by an international student.
The festival generally symbolizes the victory of light over darkness.
