Sky Tower lights for Diwali Festival

Caryn Wilkinson Reporter from Community News

The Sky Tower will light up in yellow and fuchsia from tonight until Sunday to celebrate the city's Indian festival of lights, Diwali.

Diwali is commemorated to honour Rama-chandra, the seventh avatar (incarnation of the god Vishnu).

It is believed that on this day Rama returned to his people after 14 years of exile during which he fought and won a battle against the demons and the demon king, Ravana.

Usually lasting five days, Diwali symbolises the spiritual victory of light over darkness, good over evil and knowledge over ignorance.
