Happy Diwali 2024

Diwali, known as the Festival of Lights, is one of the most celebrated festivals across South Asia and beyond, symbolizing the victory of light over darkness and good over evil. The origins of Diwali are deeply rooted in ancient Hindu mythology, marking Lord Rama's return to his kingdom of Ayodhya after 14 years in exile, during which he defeated the demon king Ravana. To celebrate his return, the people of Ayodhya lit oil lamps, welcoming their king and illuminating the city—a tradition that continues today.

For five days, families come together to clean and decorate their homes with clay lamps, colourful rangoli designs, and fresh flowers. The festival also includes delicious food, the exchange of sweets, and gifting as a gesture of love and respect. Diwali holds a special place as a time to reflect on inner light, gratitude, and hope for the future.

We’re delighted to join in the spirit of Diwali, celebrating the rich cultural heritage of our diverse community. Diwali is a wonderful reminder of the power of unity, kindness, and community spirit—values that are at the heart of Origin Housing.

Wishing everyone celebrating Diwali a joyful festival filled with warmth, love, and prosperity. Happy Diwali 2024! ✨
