Deepavali Celebrations 2015 in Melbourne
Deepavali is the most famous Indian festival in Australia. Melbourne celebrates Deepavali with all the festivities one can otherwise experience only in India. The Victorian Government provides financial support to most of these celebrations in Melbourne.
Diwali is the five days festivity period which begins on Dhanteras and ends on Bhaiya Dooj.
