2017 $1 Happy Diwali PNC

Diwali (Deepavali), also known as the festival of lights, marking the Hindu New Year, is an ancient Hindu festival held annually in India and other countries in which sizeable Hindu populations live. Diwali represents the triumph of good over evil, knowledge over ignorance, hope over despair. Tradition has it that the God Rama returned to his people after 14 years, during which he battled and prevailed over the demons and their king. The myriad lights that shine for this festival illuminate the darkness.
