Diwali celebration - London Trafalgar Square
Last weekend(28 Oct 2007), trafalgar square (London) hosted the Diwali celebration, organised by the Mayor of London and the Diwali in London Committee in association with Tilda.
Magical light displays, floating lanterns, and music & dance performances in truly Indian culture was witness by large number of Londoners and visitors braving the cold drizzle.
Music and dance covering all the major states of India - folk dance by people of all age group clearly depict the diversities of Indian culture. Some performance like vande mataram rocks the complete square.
Many stalls open from noon with tasty vegetarian food(purely Indian style), Diwali exhibition and craft-painting exhibition bring alive the historical Trafalgar square.
I am amazed by the beauty of celebration in foreign land and way people excepted it. Only complain is with the rain god
Happy Diwali to all!
