Festival season is here and Bangalore is all decked up to make the city come alive with lights and celebrations. This is the time you witness vibrant santes and festive fairs in every corner of the city. It brings back the simple joy of strolling hand in hand with our loved ones, spending the day together, and discovering little treasures that remind us of our childhood.
This year, if you’d like to celebrate festivals in a unique way, here are a few experiences waiting for you:
Deepavali Sante - Diwali Flea Market
Deepavali Sante (market) brings back everything that you had experienced in the 90s – folk music, folk dance and traditional food stalls that remind you of home. Alongside these experiences, you will also find handcrafted treasures from local artisans, enjoy games that bring joy to every generation and you can end the night grooving to the DJ. The venue, which has an old-world charm, also makes you feel as though you have stepped back in time, surrounded by tradition.
Make sure this is on your list if you want your Diwali to be full of lights and laughter.
