It’s an auspicious time for Hindus across T&T, a celebration of light triumphing over darkness. While the glow of Divali may have dimmed in some areas, the Gangaram family of Debe continues to keep the flames of tradition burning bright.
At the home of the Gangaram Family Drama Group, devotion and preparation are already in full swing. Colourful tapestries of Hindu gods and goddesses adorn the walls, the scent of oil and incense fills the evening air, and the faint echo of tassa drums resonates in the distance.
