If you didn't manage to catch any fireworks this weekend then Neasden Temple is marking Diwali and Hindu New Year on Sunday with an epic light display.

The festival of lights is a time when charity, goodwill, and family values are celebrated by Hindus across the world as they light candles to mark the triumph of good over evil, and light over darkness.

This year's Diwali festivities culminate on Sunday, November 12 when the BAPS Shri Swaminarayan Mandir - popularly known as Neasden Temple - hosts what are thought to be the country's largest Diwali and Hindu New Year celebrations - and is inviting local residents to join them.This Is Local London: Neasden Temple off Brentfield Road in Brent is hosting what are thought to be the UK's biggest Diwali and Hindu New Year celebrations this yearNeasden Temple off Brentfield Road in Brent is hosting what are thought to be the UK's biggest Diwali and Hindu New Year celebrations this year (Image: Archant)
