CULTURAL & ARTS"Diwali shopping, street chaat and fireworks with a Bollywood soundtrack."
Global Village’s India Pavilion celebrates Diwali with a bazaar of ethnic wear, lamps and mithai, plus rangoli workshops and street chaat. Bollywood dance shows take to the Main Stage, with musical fireworks set to Hindi tracks listed for 9pm on Friday and Saturday. The headline moment is a 600-drone Diwali show on November 8, alongside a five-day Diwali mela and the India Pavilion's first baithak.
Come for the celebrations. Leave with considerably more than the lamps you meant to buy.
“Make time for the chaat and mithai before finding a spot for the fireworks.”
