Deepavali / Diwali in Brickfields

The Festival of Lights is celebrated across Malaysia with a particular intensity in KL's Brickfields Little India district, where the streets are lined with oil lamps, rangoli artworks, and garlands of marigold for weeks before the festival proper. The evening of Deepavali itself brings fireworks visible across the city and open houses where Tamil sweets and curries are pressed on every passing guest regardless of religion.
