The season of loving, kicked off with the Festival of Lights, Diwali.
It was fun to watch Pakuranga MP Simeon Brown along with Howick Local Board member, Mike Turinsky sportingly participate in Dandiya Nite, the community dance and festive celebrations held at Point View School by the Art of Living Foundation. The mood was upbeat, as men, women and children dressed in traditional attire danced the evening away.
On a much bigger scale was the Auckland Diwali Festival held at the Aotea Square, with an array of nonstop performances, a line-up of hugely popular Indian delicacies, rangoli art and henna artists – all showcasing contemporary and traditional Indian culture.
