Diwali-Festival of Lights:
A Civic Celebration on Tuesday 18th October 2022
In conjunction with Dublin City Council, Ireland India Council is delighted to invite our members and communities to join us in celebrating Diwali-Festival of Lights to be celebrated in a hybrid event in the City Hall, Dublin2 on Tuesday 18th October 2022.
The civic celebration of Diwali is a spectacular event in Ireland that encompasses and invites members and peers from across communities to share the joys and wondrous Diwali celebration with our communities and leading personalities from businesses, academics, and politics across Ireland.
The annual celebration of Diwali signifies Irish relations with the communities celebrating the festival of lights in Ireland. It marks the victory of good over evil, light over darkness, and knowledge over ignorance. Over 1.3 billion people celebrate Diwali in India alone. Diwali is also an official holiday in India, Fiji, Guyana, Malaysia, Mauritius, Myanmar, Nepal, Singapore, Sri Lanka, Suriname, and many other nations. Diwali is similar to Christmas. With the conjunction of Dublin City Council, we have been celebrating Diwali- Festival of Lights in Ireland since 2008.
