In pictures: Diwali celebrated across the world amid COVID-19 fears

MM News Staff by MM News Staff
November 19, 2020

The Hindu community all over the world, including Pakistan, has celebrated Diwali, during which implementation of SOPs has been declared necessary to prevent the spread of the coronavirus.

The festival symbolizes new beginnings and the triumph of good over evil, and light over darkness.

Festivities usually last for five days and include gathering with family members, sharing tasty food, watching spectacular fireworks and visiting temples.

Streets, houses, shops and public buildings are decorated with small oil lamps made from a clay called “diyas,” illuminating them with a warm, festive glow.

This year, the pandemic is upending some of the celebrations in India, particularly in New Delhi, which has seen a renewed spike in Covid-19 infections in recent weeks.

However, although traditional revelry was mute, there was no sign that people were staying at home. As in India, people in countries from Pakistan to Malaysia celebrated the biggest Hindu holiday of the year with lights, fireworks and meet-ups with friends.
