Performances at Devonshire Square Diwali Festival, 30 October

30 November 2024, 5:30pm to 7:30pm

We were thrilled to return to Devonshire Square to perform at the sixth edition of their Diwali festival in the atmospheric Western Courtyard. The event is specially curated every year by the Devonshire Square Community & Events Management in collaboration with Akademi.

The show will feature an enthralling sequence of some of the most exquisite Indian classical and folk dances, including Odissi, Kathak, Bharatanatyam, Bhangra and Garba, as well as a mesmerising Kandyan dance performance, a highly sophisticated and refined folk dance from Sri Lanka. The evening will end with a Bollywood extravaganza and an interactive workshop.
