A poster for Diwali 2024

Diwali 2024

Diwali (also known as Deepavali or Tihar) is a five day festival celebrated amongst Hindu, Jain, Buddhist, and Sikh communities around the world. It celebrates the triumph of good over evil and light over dark.  

Diwali is marked by lighting diyas, or small clay oil lamps. 🪔 While we can’t have real oil lamps at the Northern Center, we will provide LED tea lights and a holder that you can decorate. We will also have a sample of South Asian snacks and sweets and you will be able to learn some regional dances from India.

This event is made possible by generous support from Lydia M. Olson Library, NMU Housing & Residential Life, School of Education, Leadership & Public Service, Departments of Sociology & Anthropology, Earth, Environmental & Geographical Sciences, Social Work, and Languages, Literatures & International Studies, and the Marquette-Alger Great Start Collaborative.

We hope to see you there! Zarur aana!
