THE crowd filled the hall of the Sri Kandaswamy Kovil in Brickfields, Kuala Lumpur for the Deepavali Cultural Nite with anticipation, and they did not leave disappointed.

It was a cultural feast from the word go, with a high-tea comprising traditional delights such as puree, vadai, kolkatta and muruku, as well as performances that highlighted the community’s rich heritage.
