The light-up, which will illuminate the streets until Nov 17, marks the beginning of celebrations leading up to Deepavali on Oct 31.SINGAPORE - Little India was bathed in vibrant colours on the night of Sept 14, as the annual Deepavali light-up gave more than 2km of the district a festive glow.
Despite ongoing construction works limiting the extension of lights to Race Course Road for a second consecutive year, the spirit of the celebration remains undiminished, said Little India Shopkeepers and Heritage Association chairman Regunarth Siva. The 2024 light-up is themed around family unity, and depicted through a striking three-dimensional installation at the two main arches that welcome visitors to the precinct. The installation features a joyful family of four, symbolising the festival’s focus on togetherness and harmony.
“I hope that Singaporeans will take up this invitation. By doing so, we build bridges of understanding and respect that transcend the boundaries of race, religion and culture,” he said.
