Story of Diwali, The Indian Festival of Lights

Diwali, or Dipawali, is India's biggest and most important holiday of the year. The festival gets its name from the row (avali) of clay lamps (deepa) that Indians light outside their homes to symbolize the inner light that protects us from spiritual darkness. It is also marks the start of New Year in Hindu calendar. 

The festival of Diwali has its roots in ancient India and the epic Ramayan. Through Ramleela our Puppet Show, see Ram, Sita, Lakshman, Hanuman and Ravana come to life. It is a famous story on Diwali from North India. The show will teach the meaning of true devotion, love, kindness and valor; all while learning why we celebrate Diwali.

Celebrate Holi, the Indian Festival of Colors

Through our puppet show Colors of Krishna’s Love, we bring to life Krisha and a popular story of Holi, while also addressing the colorism that existed during Krishna’s time and during our current time. We address this topic head-on, while also providing a strong message that love and friendship prevail and skin color doesn’t matter.

Holi has its roots in ancient Indian mythology. Lord Krishna loves to have fun with his friends and family. He plays Holi, throwing colored powder, and sharing love and laughter. The Culture Tree has created a puppet show that showcases Krishna playing Holi with his friends Radha and Sudama. Here children will learn the story of Holi and also learn how it is celebrated.
