Port Blair, Nov 06: On the festive occasion of Deepawali (festival of lights) the PCC President Mr. Kuldeep Rai Sharma has extended his warm greetings and good wishes to the islanders.
In his message he said that the festival is basically a symbol of the victory of good over evil, brightness over darkness, and truth over falsity.
“The thick dark new-moon (Amavasya) night on which the Diwali festival is celebrated, seems like a full-moon (Purnima) night, because of the effulgent light of numerous diyas or deepaks lighted on this night. These diyas not only make Diwali, the festival of lights, but they also symbolize the supremacy and consequence of brightness over darkness. On this day, we need to dedicate ourselves in spreading the message of compassion, love, brotherhood and peace. May this Festival of lights dispel darkness and bring joy and prosperity to the islanders,” he wished.
