Dazzling peacocks and a spectacular tunnel of lights at Little India Deepavali Light-Up 2019.

Two things about this year’s Little India Deepavali Light-Up.

  1. Goodness, I didn’t know it started on Sep 8! I was so caught up with other things, I completely missed the news coverage regarding the opening ceremony.
  2. It looks and feels grander than ever! I can’t be sure about this, as I can’t find any written information online. The lights seem to extend further up Serangoon Road this year. Viewed at the right spot i.e. in the middle of a crossing, it’s like an ethereal tunnel of lights that goes on forever.

The Welcome Mascots

The stately “welcome mascots” at the junction of Serangoon Road and Bukit Timah Road have been changed. They are still peacocks, but now they come with animated feathers and quite the princely stare.

Aren’t these new Little India peacocks lovely?

Festive archway beside Tekka Market. Like previous years, this is incredibly elaborate and a joy to look at when illuminated.

The illuminated Gopuram of Sri Veeramakaliamman Temple. This isn’t part of the festive light-up, but it adds to the ethnic festive feel of this feature?

More garlands! The air of the bazaar was thick with the scent of Jasmines and Roses.
