“We start cleaning the entire house a week in advance,” says Angela, one of the volunteers at the temple in Nieuwer ter Aa. She is also celebrating Diwali today. Every corner, every hole, every shelf in the entire house is being tackled. “People are now also getting rid of old things, for example, so that the old energy leaves the house.” Because if there is a time of the year to figure something out, she says it is the period before the festival of lights.
