Summary

Description
English: Tamaso Ma Jyotirgamaya, or lead us from Darkness to Light.

Divya, the festival of lights is celebrated by Hindu married women, who wear traditional attire and visit temples. They place an earthen lamp on their head, lit by other women and carry it home. The lamp signifies mother earth and is lit in all directions to signify spreading light or displacing darkness in all directions. This light is for mankind to move from darkness, hatred, sorrow and igorance towards light, peace, happiness and knowledge.

"God bestows light we have to walk in it" says the plaque at the circle beside the Mandovi bridge at Panaji, on the road to Old Goa.
