The Guyana Hindu Dharmic Sabha will usher in Diwali with ‘Deep Jale’ – a cultural extravaganza to be held at the Kitty Seawall Roundabout on Saturday, October 15. The evening will see the murti of the Hindu Goddess Maha Lakshmi being lit up, symbolising “light over darkness”.
The murti would be lit nightly, leading up to Diwali on Monday, October 24, 2022.
In addition, there will be sacred chants and prayers, and a packed cultural presentation, including songs, dances, and poems among other things. Once again, the talented dancers from Dharmic Nritya Sangh are ready to wow the audience. 
President of the Guyana Hindu Dharmic Sabah, Dr Vindhya Persaud, is also expected to address the gathering.
After a two-year hiatus, the countrywide motorcade returns on Saturday, October 15, with one also being held in Black Bush Polder, Corentyne, Berbice. That cultural show will take place at the Johanna Mandir.
This will be followed by the West Coast Berbice event on Sunday, October 16, at the Bath Community Centre Ground, and the Upper Corentyne motorcade at the Tagore High School Ground at Number 63 Village, Corentyne.
On Friday, October 21, all roads would lead to the East Canje Ground and the Albion Community Centre Ground for the Lower and Central Corentyne Motorcades.
