Diwali is a time to welcome a new year, happiness and prosperity. It is a festival of lights that follows the lunar calendar and is similar to a new year celebration. Diwali is one of India’s most celebrated holidays and is recognized by people from multiple faiths, including Hindus, Jains, Buddhists, Sikhs and many others.

The name Diwali, or Deepavali, is derived from the words deep meaning light and avail meaning a row, referencing the row of lights that Indian celebrants use to illuminate their homes during the celebration. Diwali traditionally takes place over the span of five days, and celebrations include family gatherings, lighting clay lamps, displaying floral décor and rangoli, feasting and sharing sweets, and offering worship to Lakshmi, the goddess of wealth and fortune.

Watch cultural Indian performances at the Bellevue Square Center Court including dance, visual arts, and music to celebrate the Festival of Lights on Saturday, October 22.

Have a SARAHENNA Organic Body Art artist apply complimentary henna designs for you to enjoy for weeks after our Diwali celebration is over!
