Description

Listen to this podcast featuring Arun Sharma from Celebrate India, who, along with a small group of volunteers, founded Melbourne’s iconic Diwali celebration at Federation Square. He shares how the event began as a community initiative to help the wider public understand the festival of lights and its cultural significance. Two decades on, the celebration has grown into one of Australia’s most recognised Indian festivals, marking 20 years at Fed Square this year. The event is scheduled to take place on 11 October.
