Dear Members & Friends,

Join us for a DEEPAVALI guided tour with Charlotte Chu in Little India and discover about the Festival of Lights, the most important festival for the Hindus.

Come on this walk to find out how the Hindus celebrated this very colorful holiday. Indulge in all your senses as you walk through this fascinating Ethnic Area. Check out Serangoon Road and its back streets, where you will find a myriad of interesting shops, spices, textiles and garland makers etc. Learn about the history of the area and see the beautiful architecture of the colorful terrace houses. Hear about the Gods in the oldest Hindu temple in the area and witness how the devotees do their prayers. Get to taste delicious Indian snacks and ‘pulled’ tea. Always curious as to how a sari is tied, well this is your chance to see a ‘live’ demo in a shop that sells beautiful saris. You have the option of staying on for lunch/dinner at the oldest vegetarian restaurant in Little India.
