Deepavali, also known as the Festival of Lights, is one of Singapore's major cultural celebrations, marking the Hindu community's victory of good over evil. This year's Deepavali will take place on November 12th and 13th. During this exciting festival, Singapore's Little India is adorned with colorful lights, public spaces are revamped, and there's a festive atmosphere everywhere.
