Singapore Tours | Deepavali

We are still in the spirit of Diwali or Deepavali - The Indian Festival of Lights. Did you know that Diwali, Deepavali or Dipavali is a four-five day-long festival, which is celebrated not only by Hindus, Jains, Sikhs but also by some Buddhists every autumn in the northern hemisphere (spring in the southern hemisphere)? It is called the Festival of Lights but here the light is a metaphor for knowledge and consciousness! To learn more about the Hindu community, follow the Silver Chariot procession on your Singapore city tour.

Check out the Indian Temples on your private tours Singapore!

One of the most famous places on a Singapore city tour, the Sri Mariamman Temple, hosts another cultural spectacle: Theemithi. Here you can witness thousands of men walk on burning charcoal as a tribute to the goddess Sri Drowpathai Amman.
