Queensland’s Hindu community is all set to celebrate Deepavali, the Festival of Light, with enthusiasm and warmth, receiving heartfelt wishes from the Department of Home Affairs. Charlie Shandil, Regional Director for North Queensland and the Northern Territory, shares a message of support and admiration for the Hindu community’s contributions to Australia.
As communities across Queensland light up in celebration, Deepavali serves as a radiant reminder of light’s triumph over darkness, an emblem of hope and resilience. This festival, rooted in the time-honoured traditions of Sanatana Dharma, reflects values that resonate with the broader Australian spirit, making Deepavali not only a celebration but a symbol of unity and shared values.
Shandil’s message highlights the Hindu community’s enduring dedication to harmony and inclusivity, contributing richly to the state’s cultural diversity while embodying Australian values. From Queensland to the Northern Territory, the community stands as a testament to generosity, strength, and a commitment to building a united future.
Deepavali in Queensland is more than just a festival; it’s a moment to recognise the shared journey and aspirations for a harmonious future for all. Shandil extends his warmest wishes for a Deepavali filled with health, happiness, and community togetherness.
Whether it’s “दीपावली की शुभकामनाएँ,” “ദീപാവലിയുടെ ആശംസകൾ,” or “दीपावली के प्रणाम,” Deepavali brings the community together in a collective celebration that transcends language, lighting up hearts across Australia.
