The Maltese-Indian community recently celebrated the Hindu Festival of Lights with a grand ball at the Radisson Hotel, St Julian’s.
The occasion was attended by Prime Minister Joseph Muscat, Nationalist Party MP Francis Zammit Dimech as well as several Maltese friends and relatives of the Indians living in Malta.
The evening included a short show, which highlighted the Hindu tradition of worshipping Mata Lakshmi, the goddess of wealth, with lamps, as well as colourful dances from the ever-youthful Bollywood industry.
This was followed by a buffet of delicately spiced Indian cuisine and a raffle with grand prizes. The evening closed with both Indians and Maltese on the dance floor, swaying to Bhangra, Koota and other popular Hindi beats.
