Diwali, also known as Divali or Deepawali, is a religious festival celebrated in India. Deriving from the Sanskrit Dipavali meaning 'row of lights', this festival is recognised in Hinduism, Sikhism, Jainism and Buddhism.
While having different stories of origin, the common theme is light triumphing over darkness, either with someone good overcoming or banishing someone evil, or by the achievement of enlightenment. Similarly, the celebrations differ, but most include the lighting of clay oil lamps in the home, people coming together and the sharing of sweets.
The festival of light is filled with bright bold colours, particularly yellow, blue, purple, green and red. That makes this bouquet, the Tropical Sun, the perfect gift to send to someone you know who is observing this auspicious occasion.
