00:00Well, let me not only bring you sad negative news when it comes to, of course, the reality of the
00:06festivities.
00:07It was, after all, the Dipavali Festival. It was celebrated not just in India, but in our neighbourhood as well.
00:12So I have a special mention. Dipavali celebrations lit up Karachi, Pakistan.
00:18Remember that the Hindu minority in Pakistan is below 3%, could be much lower.
00:23But this time, coming out in the open, these Hindu worshippers gathering at the Sri Swaminarayan Temple
00:28to celebrate the Festival of Flames.
00:31The celebrations featured prayers, puja ceremonies, fireworks and colourful Rangoli decorations as well.
00:37Homes and temples of the Hindus were illuminated with lights.
00:40Courtyards adorned with intricate Rangoli patterns.
00:43Men, women, children participating in the festivities.
00:45Hindu priests seen playing the drum during the rituals.
00:48And remember at this point, the fact that the ancient festival as much of Pakistan, which was formerly India,
00:56where the Hindu population lives in Sindh province,
00:58they continued to hold fort and thus several temples in Karachi,
01:02witnessed the Dipavali celebrations.
