Diwali is a festival
of lights and one of the major festivals celebrated by Hindus, Jains, Sikhs and
some Buddhists, notably Newar Buddhists The festival usually lasts five days
and is celebrated during the Hindu lunisolar month Kartika (between mid-October
and mid-November). One of the most popular festivals of Hinduism, Diwali
symbolizes the spiritual "victory of light over darkness, good over evil,
and knowledge over ignorance". The festival is widely associated with
Lakshmi, goddess of prosperity, with many other regional traditions connecting
the holiday to Sita and Rama, Vishnu, Krishna, Yama, Yami, Durga, Kali,
Hanuman, Ganesha, Kubera, Dhanvantari, or Vishvakarman. Furthermore, it is, in
some regions, a celebration of the day Lord Rama returned to his kingdom
Ayodhya with his wife Sita and his brother Lakshmana after defeating Ravana in
Lanka and serving 14 years of exile. Wikipedia.

Two signs on a pole in the Bandra Kurla Complex. The 1st one says you can't park here and the 2nd one tells you where to park and at what cost. Smart advertising for a Pay and Park.
