马来西亚三大民族之一的印度同胞，会在十月尾或十一月初庆祝“屠妖节”。屠妖节也称为“万灯节”, " avali " 是“一排排的”的意思，“deepa ” 是“灯”的意思，它也代表了“光明驱走黑暗，善良战胜邪恶”。
在传说中，有个叫Narakasura 的魔王，在他的统治下，老百姓民不聊生。天神Krishna 知道后，为民除害，把魔王给杀了，Narakasura 死的当天，老百姓兴高采烈的点灯庆祝，他们也就把这天称为“屠妖节”。
在屠妖节的除夕，我去了怡保的百货商场走走。那里张灯结彩，还有个小舞台，用来让印度姑娘表演印度的传统舞蹈。

Deepavali is also known as " The Festival of Light ". The word Deepavali comes from : Lighting rows of ("avali") lamps ( "deepa").
I went go to a shopping centre in Ipoh during the eve of Deepavali. The shopping centre is decorated with beautiful ribbons and lots of bulbs . A stage is ready there in order to let the Indian dancers to perform Bollywood dance later.
Lights or lamps signify the victory of good over devil. The Hindus are thanking the god for the happiness, knowledge , peace and wealth that they have received.
光明驱走黑暗。他们还感谢神赐给他们快乐，知识，和平与财富．
