There will be heartfelt prayers and classical bollywood dancing at the West Seniors Association Incorporated Diwali celebrations.
The groups president Amman Naidu said the focus this year was highlighting the importance of celebrating with the community.
“Diwali is like a festival of lights,” Mr Naidu said.
“It’s very important to our community because we’ve been doing it all of our life…so we’re trying to involve the general community too.
“We want to make it very multicultural, it’s not only for one community.”
A pundit will inform attendees about the religious significance of the festival and make a community prayer, before food is served and residents can participate in traditional dancing.
The celebration will be held at the Laverton Community Hub on October 15, from 2pm-5pm.
Bookings essential.
