The Diwali celebrations in Marsden Park in Sydney saw an array of Bollywood dances, classical performances, live music concerts, henna tattoos, vibrant festival stalls, and authentic Indian food. The one-of-a-kind Diwali-themed laser light show celebrating the festival of lights was the highlight of the evening. Australian political leaders who joined the festivities said Diwali is one of the most inclusive and welcoming festivals, a testimony to modern-day multicultural Australia.
