Hari Raya is a time for celebration and tradition. This year, Pavilion Damansara Heights in Kuala Lumpur is highlighting Malay heritage with its "Heights of Traditions" campaign, running until April 13.

In collaboration with the heritage arts-based World Culture Organisation (WCO), the mall is showcasing a series of handmade wau (Malay kite) exhibits from across Malaysia, traditional wooden carvings, and three miniature dioramas – Wau Display, Raya Gotong-Royong, and Perkampungan Melayu.
