Welcome The Festival Of Lights with The Indian Heritage Centre

2 min read

Traditionally known as the ‘Festival of Lights’, Deepavali is a celebration of the triumph of good over evil; light over darkness; and knowledge over ignorance.

This year, join the Indian Heritage Centre (IHC) in its Deepavali celebrations, titled Welcoming Light, and take in the sights, sounds and revelry of the festival as we collectively usher light into our hearts and minds as individuals, as a community, and as a nation.

A miniature replica of the Deepavali street light-up arch along Campbell Lane will welcome visitors to IHC. Featuring a decorated arch, along with peacock designs that extend from the institution’s entrance to its stairwell, the light installation serves as a warm greeting, inviting people from all walks of life to join in the festivities. It’s the perfect backdrop to take a Deepavali #OOTD, or for families to pose for their Deepavali photos.
