Hindus in T&T will celebrate Divali tomorrow with a host of activities in the home where various dishes and sweets are prepared and a pooja (prayer) is performed. At dusk, everyone joins in lighting and placing the deyas around the home. The sacred festival is known to bring about positive feelings in the community and is marked by unity, cleanliness, harmony and festivity. Although Divali is a Hindu celebration, in the multi-ethnic, multi-religious Trinidadian society it is celebrated as a national holiday by people of all denominations. Photographer EDISON BOODOOSINGH captured these images at the Divali Nagar site over the weekend.
