Auckland central came alive to the sounds of Bollywood this weekend when both Aotea Square and a
couple of blocks of Queen Street
were transformed into a little bit of India. The Auckland Diwali Festival
included stalls selling delicious Indian food and vibrantly coloured Indian
clothing, as well as a constant flow of music and dance, both traditional and
contemporary. My favourites were the younger dancers, who looked stunning in
their gorgeous costumes.
Here are some of the things that caught my eye. Happy Diwali!
