He said how, during British colonial times, Indian diaspora members were taken to Fiji, carrying with them the teachings of the Bhagavad Gita and the Ramayana.  The dissemination of these cultural treasures in Fiji has led to a strong cultural identity for the community. 

Expressing enthusiasm, Deputy PM Prasad noted the fervor among Fijians when it comes to the mention of Ayodhya, especially during events related to Lord Ram’s birthplace.  Despite diverse religious backgrounds, the celebration of Diwali in Fiji is marked with grandeur, and the day is observed as a public holiday nationwide.
