Diwali

Diwali (pronounced Div-ar-lee) is the Hindu festival of Light and also marks the start of the Hindu New Year.

Diwali celebrations in Leicester are the largest in the country and are based around the Belgrave Road at the heart of the city's Asian community.

There are two celebrations � the switching on of the lights and Diwali Day itself. Both celebrations involve traditional dancing, music and fireworks.

Anyone ever been?

It was featured on the BBC Holiday programme this week and looks amazing!

Really fancy going.

I know........lads....pints and a curry :-))))
