Hi K7,
Can you please tell if there is some specific event during Diwali time? Any public celebration or any thing that will be good to attend or to be part of?

Thanks.

Hi Vikas

I was for Divali in Triolet.
Go there in the night, walk along the streets and admire the thousands of small lights and talk with the people.
take a look on my website

www.mauritiustipps.de.vu

under facq, prices you will find a picture of Divali in Triolet

many greetings anne

Hi

i forgot the date

Divali : 25/10/2003

Divali is the most jovial of all Hindu festivals. This public holiday is celebrated on 25th October this year. It marks the victory of Rame over Ravana and also commemorates Krishna´s destruction of the demon Narakasuran. Clay oil lamps are placed in front of every home turning the island into a fairyland of flickering lights

greetings anne

Hi vikas ,

Normally the government will be organizing big parties and shows everywhere, you'll see it accordingly in newspapers.

and on www.servihoo.com ! moreover i'll advise not to stick to triolet itself , go round the island , and find a HOST that will make you LIVE divali.. Then you'll feel the magic in it .

Enjoy,
K7
