Ancient India Lesson: The Diwali Festival
Diwali is one of the major festivals celebrated by Indian people. The five-day festival celebrates the triumph of light over dark and good over evil. During the celebration, adherents made Rangoli and place them around their homes, praying for health, knowledge, and peace. Rangoli is a timeless tradition that is followed all over India. In many cases, designs are passed down through generations with some of them being hundreds of years old.
Recently, the rapidly increasing coronavirus cases in Taiwan have made us live in the shadow of the pandemic. Through making Rangoli, our grade 6 student also made their wishes. We wish that we will soon see the light in the shadow!
