A closer look at the meaning and traditions of Diwali

Diwali, the festival of lights, is one of the most cherished Hindu festivals celebrated by millions of people around the world. It symbolizes the triumph of light over darkness and good over evil.

Typically lasting five days, Diwali is marked by the lighting of oil lamps called diyas and the decoration of homes with vibrant rangoli designs. Families come together to offer prayers, exchange gifts and enjoy festive meals, all in a spirit of joy and renewal.

This year, Urban Tamu Market is bringing the beauty and traditions of this vibrant festival to the heart of the community, inviting everyone to support local vendors and join in a celebration of light, joy and unforgettable memories. Don't miss this special event!
