Diwali

Diwali is our biggest fall event. It is a Hindu festival of lights, held in the period of October to November. It symbolizes the victory of good over evil and is one of the biggest festivals in India.

​

To help all the international Indian students stay connected with their roots, we celebrate it with food, lights, and music.

Holi

Holi celebrates spring, love, and new life with dancing, singing, and playing with colours, and water.

​

Holi is a festival celebrated in every part of India, and by us at UVA, with utmost joy and enthusiasm. The vibrance of colours is something that brings a lot of positivity into our lives.
