Diwali, the Festival of Lights, is the most popular Hindu festival of the year, and marks both the beginning of winter and the Hindu New Year. It is celebrated with the expectations of good luck and prosperity for the upcoming year.
Participants will visit a Hindu Temple, tour Houston's Mahatma Gandhi District, explore a South Asian Market, and have a Pakistani Buffet lunch. There will also be an opportunity to visit an Indian bakery and get to try on a sari at a local dress shop.
