21.10.2011: Diwali celebration

As Diwali is one of the most important cultural events in India, we have of course taken the occasion to celebrate this "festival of lights" in its traditional way together with our tenants. According to the Indian atmosphere, which was mainly created through the typical decoration, Indian snacks and sweets as well as the music, also most of our tenants were dressed in their prettiest sarees and kurtas. Furthermore, as an important part of the Diwali tradition, an Indian priest, who was holding a pooja, could not be missed. We have again sorted the prettiest pictures of this event, which you can find here. We wish you all "Happy Diwali" and some nice holidays ahead!
