The Indian Cayman Community hosted its 26th annual Diwali celebration at Pedro Castle on Saturday evening, 25 Oct.
Diwali is the ‘Festival of Lights’, an occasion which celebrates the victory of light over darkness.
It is celebrated by the lighting of lamps, sharing of festive meals, firecrackers and music. Despite earlier concerns that bad weather may impact the event, the rain held off.
Among the almost 1,000 people who took part in the celebration were Governor Jane Owen, Premier André Ebanks, Deputy Premier Franz Manderson, Health Minister Katherine Ebanks-Wilks, chief officers Dax Basdeo and Eric Bush, former MPs Barbara Conolly and Bernie Bush, and members of the Foster family.
