Comments

Struck by the Perth Mint and issued in a Folder with Australian stamps.


Deepavali or Diwali celebrates light over darkness, good over evil, and wisdom over ignorance.
Many tales are associated with the Festival of Lights, which is celebrated between mid-October and mid-November in myriad ways by Hindus and Jains in South Asia and among the Indian diaspora.
But what unites celebrants is the essence of the occasion - the shared signs, symbols and icons that signify illumination in the hearts of believers the world over.
