gave us a chance to interact with our viewers", said B4U Network
CEO Sunil Rohra.

is an important occasion for London's Hindus, Sikhs and Jains and
represents the power of good to triumph over evil - a theme that
has relevance for all of London's communities because it signifies
the value of co-operation and mutual respect between peoples of
different faiths and backgrounds .On this occasion I wish everyone
a happy and prosperous Diwali."
Among
the major attractions on the night were a display of Sikh martial
arts, a fancy dress parade, a sari wearing competition and henna
painting. Stalls at both ends of the square were thronged by eager
revellers armed with their brollies.

into the groove as Shama and friends belted the foot-tapping track,
Diwali Aayi Re.
