To the surprise of many the Hindu festival of Diwali, the festival of lights, was declared a national holiday in Suriname last week. With a large Hindu population this should be no surprise, but most Hindustanis did not see it coming. Having the day off did allow many to make the celebration extra special and many homes were lit up by candles and electric lights.
