Diwali is one of the prominent festivals in Singapore. While Indians celebrate Deepavali in a traditional way, the local Singaporeans are no less in indulging in the festive vibes on this occasion. Even if you're in Singapore on Diwali, you can rediscover the vibrant Indian culture and celebrate this festival with a bash. Here are some ways to enjoy the festival of lights and Indian culture in Singapore.
Make Traditional Sweets at Home
Traditional sweets are easy to make. All you need is some basic ingredients and Diwali excitement. Indulge in making yummy ladoos and barfis along with your kids and other family members at home to prepare for Diwali celebrations. Pack these sweets as Deepawali gifts for your loved ones to surprise them.
Singapore's Hindu Temples
Celebrate Diwali in Singapore by visiting some of the famous and oldest Hindu temples. Visit the charming Sri Veeramakaliamman Temple also known as Little India's crown on the Serangoon Road. Constructed in 1855, this is one of the oldest religious sites in Singapore. You can also stop by Sri Mariamman on South Bridge Road and witness Theemithi (fire-walking ceremony) before Diwali. This temple has a unique musical pillar that produces different sounds when tapped.
Decorate your Home with Torans & Rangoli
Diwali is a festival of lights and decorations. While glittery hangings and different types of Diwali decorations are available in the market, decorating your house with traditional torans is still the best option. Make rangoli at the doorstep with beautiful colours and flowers. Hang beautiful torans and decorate the rangoli with diyas. These little things will help you bring cultural vibes home despite being in Singapore.
Visit Little India
Every year, Little India celebrates Diwali with a popping light decoration and colourful Diwali markets. Just when you notice enough of the lights, this place will dazzle you with flower decorations, massive elephant and peacock motifs, unique oil lamps, tea lights and much more. You will be able to see the glimpse of goddess Mahalaxmi around Serangoon Road. And remember, Diwali in Singapore is not just a day's affair but it will continue to grace the streets till December 6, 2020.
Celebrate Together
You might go out of India, but the Indian culture won't leave you. Diwali is celebrated with friends and family. It is one of the main festivals that unites the family and brings home joy and fervour. Even if you are in Singapore on Diwali, celebrate this festival with your friends and family.
