The Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan said:

I want to send my warmest wishes to everyone celebrating Diwali in London and around the world.


During this wonderful festival of lights, we come together to reflect on the past year together, and mark the triumph of good over evil, light over darkness and friendship over enmity.Diwali’s central message of peace and mutual respect is one that I know all Londoners support – we are a city that celebrates our differences, and London is open to all.From my family to yours, Happy Diwali and a prosperous new year.

Namaste - Happy Deepavali and a very happy New Year from all at the Diwali in London (DiL) team.

 

We look forward to celebrating Deepavali with all of you, on this 17th year of festivities in the heart of London on the largest stage event in Europe. 

What makes this year particularly significant is that we will also remember the sacrifices made by our ancestors, over 1.3 million of who served in WW1, fighting alongside the British soldiers and ensuring that we maintain the freedom and independence that we enjoy today.

 

There will be a foray of stalls with interactive and engaging activities and sumptuous food to enjoy along with several scintillating stage performances.

 

Don't want to give too much away and take away the element of surprise.... Please DO come early to make sure that you can join us for dancing in the square!

 

Last but not the least - THANK YOU to our MAYOR OF LONDON , Mr. Sadiq Khan and all the wonderful sponsors who have made these celebrations possible. 

 

Happy Deepavali

Nitin Palan, MBE
