The festival of Diwali is the symbol of victory of good over evil, hope over despair and prosperity over misery although this sounds very echoic, but there are some less privileged people in our society for whom Diwali brings jealousy, envy, feeling of insufficiency, frustration and even death. We received a case on the day of Diwali involving Homicide-Suicide (Dyadic death). Dyadic aspects of Diwali (for that matter any other festival as well) are highlighted in the present article in the light of the case.
