While we, in Sri Lanka, celebrated Diwali on 20th October, it was a different scene in Melbourne, Australia, where this festival was celebrated on a grand scale on Friday, 03rd October.

The celebrations were organised by the Commonwealth Bank of Australia (CBA) and quite a few prominent Sri Lankans, in Melbourne, were invited as special guests.
Reports coming my way indicate that the spirit of Diwali shone brightly at this event that brought together over 800 guests from diverse cultural backgrounds, creating an atmosphere of unity, joy, and vibrant celebration.
