Comment

Diwali is India's most important festival. This New Year's ceremony, also known as the "Festival of Lights", is celebrated by millions of people every year. The notion of the triumph of light over darkness is highly symbolic and so universal that, over the centuries, it has inspired cultures the world over, but Diwali is more than just a flame: it floods homes, streets... and hearts! Diwali devotees form a highly diverse ethno-cultural group. Each faith, Hindu, Sikh or Jain, has its own Diwali legends, but they all celebrate the victory of good over evil.

This remarkable piece is adorned with rich motifs typical of Indian culture. The outer ring is inspired by stone inlays from the Taj Mahal. Trilliums and dogwood flowers represent Toronto (Ontario) and Vancouver (British Columbia), the two Canadian cities with the most Indo-Canadian residents.

Packaging
The piece is encapsulated and presented in a unique wooden box embellished with a motif on gold metallic foil. The box comes with an illustrated protective box. Automatically translated
