DIWALI: Lights for Gita
This animated short, based on the book by Rachna Gilmore, is the story of Gita, an 8-year-old girl who can’t wait to celebrate Divali – the Hindu festival of lights – in her new home in Canada. But it’s nothing like New Delhi, where she comes from. The weather is cold and grey and a terrible ice storm cuts off the power, ruining her plans for a party. Obviously, a Divali celebration now is impossible. Or is it? As Gita experiences the glittering beauty of the icy streets outside, the traditional festival of lights comes alive in a sparkling new way.
Shubh Diwali!
Happy Diwali!
Shubh Diwali!

Diwali has arrived! Rangoli art decorates the floor and strings of flowers hang around the doors. Now it’s time to ring the bells, light the lamps, and welcome the new year with family and friends. A sweet introduction to the Hindu festival of lights.
