TRINIDAD, November 10, 2002: The Caribbean Cultural Council (ICC) wishes to announce the publication and sale of its latest souvenir magazine, Divali 2002 in Trinidad and Tobago. The theme of the magazine is cultural ecology or, alternatively, religion and the environment. Hindus comprise the second largest religious groups in Trinidad and Tobago after Roman Catholics. Most Indians are Hindus, and Indians form just over half of the population (1.3 million) of the tiny Caribbean island. For thousands of Hindus in Trinidad and Tobago, Divali — The Festival of Lights — is a sacred day. On this public holiday, other nationals join in the celebration, lighting clay lamps at public celebrations, and visiting Hindu friends who welcome them warmly into their homes.
