to symbolize good triumphing over evil

Many people in northern India celebrate New Year's much later in the year. The Festival of lights doesn't occur until October or November. Lamps are lit and fireworks are set off to symbolize good triumphing over evil.

I wonder if I could say "to symbolize good winning over evil" instead of the bolded part. Thanks.
