Lumina: The Divali Experience Brings Faith And Culture To San Fernando

Divali celebrations are already underway ahead of the national observance on November 8th, with a new event joining the calendar this year.

The inaugural “Lumina: The Divali Experience” at the Southern Academy for the Performing Arts (SAPA) in San Fernando brought together devotion, cultural performances and a pageant celebrating young East Indian women from communities across Trinidad and Tobago.

Organised in collaboration with the Ministry of Culture and Community Development, SAPA and Radio 103.1 FM, the event provided a platform for local talent to showcase the spiritual and artistic traditions associated with Divali.
