Tihar: Nepalese Festival of Light and Colours
Date: 9 Oct 2023 (Mon)
Time: 6:30pm-8:00pm

How do Crows, Dogs, Goddess, Oxens and Brothers have any connection with each other? To answer that, we have to travel to Nepal where Tihar is celebrated. We will explore the ways local people celebrate this occasion with food and garlands, and how dogs, pets or stray, are adorned with Tika and offered treats on the second day of Tihar. If you want to know how cow dung is used and why kids are singing praises and insults at adults during that festival week, then join us to light the night up.

Date: 12 Oct 2023 (Thur)

Join us as we dive into the historical, environmental and multicultural richness of Reunion Island through our guest from the island, learn the local dialect called Creole and try our hands at some unique dance and dessert from the Intense Island. La Réunion lé là!
