Hello guys, Diwali (aka Deepawali) is a festival of lights in India and it symbolizes victory of good over evil. It is one of the most important festivals in India. In India we burst fireworks, visit family and friends and exchange sweets during this festival. This year Diwali falls on 26th October 2011. This would be my first Diwali outside India, away from family and friends. But I'll try to make most out of it and make new friends and celebrate it with them. As I understand, there are quite a few Indians in Shanghai. We can take this opportunity to introduce our friends from outside India to this festival and enjoy this great festival. Let us plan something on these lines. We can either host it at your residence (Indian style) or can hire a place to celebrate it. What say guys?

Hi Bharat,

I have heard that some Indians organize bhajans, but I don't have their contact details. There is an association of Indian community in Shanghai, they organize various events at Indian festivals and provide a good platform to meet Indians. You can become a member of the community by emailing them at iashanghai@live.com
