Hi there, if you’re heading towards Singapore during this period, don’t miss the Festival of Lights, a Hindu celebration event in Singapore (and all parts of the world I suppose).

Quoted from Singapore Tourism Board’s Uniquely Singapore site,

Deepavali, the most important date of the Hindu calendar, occurs on one day during October, and in the ethnic quarter of Little India, the festivities last practically for the whole month of October.

Deepavali is the Festival of Lights, and marks the defeat of the evil  King Narakasura by the Lord Krishna.  All round the world, Hindus celebrate this day as the triumph of light over darkness, and of good over evil. It marks the new beginning for Hindu devotees, and is a great time of rejoicing and renewal. During this time, Little India throbs with evening roadside stalls, booming music and strings of colourful lights.  Shoppers throng the streets in search of the perfect sari to wear, or to fill their baskets with Indian foods and spices. Hindu homes are lighted with oil lamps , and offerings of sweetmeats and garlands of jasmine are placed at the family altar.

Here are some of the photos taken by our staff Lixing when he went poking around in Little India after working hours. You’ll have to excuse his photography skill, he isn’t Jody Oh, Little India is just minutes walking distance away from us too!
