Treasurer Anusha Ramsunder said the festivities started off with tea and some traditional Indian sweet meats.
“One of the highlights of the day was a lively performance of the traditional Indian dance, dandiya,” she said. Colourfully attired senior citizens danced in a circle, striking two sticks together in rhythm with the beat of the music, showcasing the cultural richness of the occasion.
Ramsunder was delighted with the spirited turn out, saying the celebration was “vibrant and filled with cheer”. She also thanked Heidi Geyser, Montwood Ratepayers Association’s treasurer who attended in support of the event.
The Diwali celebration was a display of cultural diversity and community spirit, and the Rosewood Senior Citizens are now looking forward to the Christmas celebration on December 4.
