Diwali Festival

The Deepavali Festival in Malaysia, also known as Diwali, is celebrated from November 4 and lasts for 5 days. Each day has a profound human meaning expressing the wish for "joy - light - happiness". In the past, Deepavali was an important religious festival for Hindus in Malaysia. And today, not only in the capital Kuala Lumpur but throughout Malaysia, Deepavali is a common festival for everyone. All over Malaysia, thanksgiving prayers and baptismal rites are held at temples and home altars. Deepavali Festival of Lights is an occasion when Malaysians return home to gather, have fun together, light kuthuvilakku - a traditional Indian oil lamp and receive the blessing of Lakshmi - a goddess prosperous.

Visitors participating in the festival will admire the unique art fireworks display, and outdoor music performances and enjoy typical Indian dishes at the Little Indian area. Food stalls are sold everywhere, opening a unique culinary world that awakens the dining soul of all visitors.
