NEWTON – Newton South High School transformed Sunday evening into a colorful, energetic festival celebrating the Indian "festival of lights," or Diwali.
Although globally celebrated Nov. 10 and 11 this year, the United India Association of New England (UIANE) held its annual community-wide event on a weekend to encourage family participation. The festival dates adjust each year to align with the new moon of the Hindu month Kartika, which normally falls between mid-October and mid-November.
