The month began with the GARBA celebrations, seeking the divine blessings of Goddess. Now, it’s time to wind it up with DIWALI celebrations.
“DIWALI” means FESTIVAL OF LIGHTS. The five-day Diwali festival is celebrated in INDIA as Christmas in the WEST. Diwali’s popularity and significance could be witnessed by the fact that even President Barack Obama throws “DIWALI” party for Indians in White House.
Leading up to the festival, dozens of special dishes are prepared, houses are cleaned, candles lit, sweets are distributed and, in India, firecrackers are set off in huge celebrations.
For some, Diwali is as much about the “awareness of the inner light,” its literal meaning, as it is the opportunity to ask the God for a fortuitous balance sheet.
Diwali is the time when Indians love to spend quality time with their near and dear ones.
Following the league, INDIAN STUDENT ASSOCIATION in association with LINKINS, ISU Dinning center has arranged a Diwali Dinner Party. It’s now, the time to refresh yourself from the mid-terms and spend nice time with your friends over food and celebrations.
MAJOR ATTRACTIONS:-
Special Indian Delicacies @ normal meal value
A special Indian prayer to mark the beginning of lunar year
An insight into INDIAN culture
It’s the time to take out the traditional attire from your closet and dress up and celebrate DIWALI to relive those special memories of celebrations in INDIA.
INDIAN STUDENT ASSOCIATION is looking forward to see everybody for the event as this is the least we all could do to fill the void of the fun, excitement and divinity that we all experienced back home during the festival.
