SHARING SOME DIWALI JOY

Leicester is known internationally for having the biggest public celebration of Diwali outside India (we never let people forget that, do we?). But today, in different parts of the city, there are also a number of low key, small scale events and activities for this special day. Like this one, in Highcross, where friends from the Leicester Belgrave Mela were offering free Mendhi henna tattoos and free sweets to shoppers. I was particularly interested to see this display, as it is in the same spot (East Mall, at the foot of the escalators) that we'll be holding our Inter Faith Week exhibition at the end of November.
