Diwali

November 3, 2022 by stgschoolcraft

Diwali is one of the major festivals celebrated by Hindus

The Schoolcraft College Asian Student Association and the Detroit Indian Women’s Association (DIWA) invite people of all faiths to the Diwali Celebration from 6:30 p.m. to 11:30 p.m. on Saturday, November 12, in the Vistatech Center.

“Diwali is a festival of lights and one of the major festivals celebrated by Hindus,” said Dr. Anna Maheshwari, English Professor and Department Chair. “The festival usually lasts five days and is celebrated during the Hindu lunisolar month Kartika. On this day, it is believed that Lakshmi, the goddess of wealth, blesses homes that are brightly lit with lamps.”

Dr. Maheshwari said Diwali also is officially the new year for Hindus.

“People wear new clothes and adults and children light fire crackers until late into the night,” she said. “Children get cash and other gifts from their elders and the homes are filled with celebrations and good food.”

Tickets are $25 per person and must be purchased in advance. Children under the age of 3 are free.

Tickets are available in the Student Activities Office of Schoolcraft College, which is in the lower level of the Vistatech Center, or by calling 734-462-4422. For more information, please contact Dr. Maheshwari by phone at 248-345-5313 or by email at [email protected] or Alka Srivastava, Vice President/Treasurer of DIWA, at 734-748-2035.
