Greetings
Gandhi Jayanti: October 2, birthday of the Father of the Nation Mahatma Gandhi, is also commemorated as the International Day of Non-violence. It reminds us of ‘Ahimsa' as the world is plagued by terror and violence. He believed "an eye for an eye makes the whole world blind". It is time for us to introspect and find ways to follow what the Mahatma stood for. Celebrate Gandhi Jayanti and spread his message of love and peace with our creative e-Cards.
Durga Puja and Dussehra: Durga Puja, also referred to as Durgotsava, means the festival of Maa Durga, widely celebrated in West Bengal, Bihar, Jharkhand, Orissa, Assam and other parts of the nation even as people from north India celebrate the Dussehra. The festival has a hidden message of the triumph of good over the evil, marking victories of Goddess Durga and Lord Rama over the demons and Ravana. Wish your friends and relatives with e-Cards from the NPI.
Diwali (Deepavali): Celebrate this year's Diwali or Deepavali, the festival of lights, with our e-Cards. Diwali is celebrated by people from all religions, seeking blessings of Goddess Lakshmi (goddess of wealth and prosperity), not only in India but abroad too, by the Indian diaspora.
