Edward B. Beharry won the first place trophy in the commercial float category and the Mon Repos Mandir took away the first place in the large float category last night at the Diwali motorcade.
President Bharrat Jagdeo did make it to the LBI ground last night after returning from Barbados.

The darkest night in the Hindu calendar, Deepavali is celebrated throughout Guyana today with lights, and lighted diyas  bringing the Goddess Mother Laxmi into their homes.
Lighting a lamp or diya symbolizes the destruction through knowledge of all negative forces, wickedness, violence etc.
Happy Deepavali to our readers.
