Diwali is not just about lighting diyas and firecrackers, it is about acquiring values that we can apply in our lives to become better citizens and most of all better neighbours.

Today marks the return of Lord Rama from 14 years of exile and Hindus also celebrate this day to mark the win of good over evil.

The Brahman Purohit Sabha of Fiji has called on all citizens of Fiji to forget all the negative in the past and look forward.

General Secretary Kamal Sharma said Fiji is gifted with different races and this is an opportune time where we can all come together.
