Raj Posted 22 October 2014 Posted 22 October 2014 Without offending anyone whom has no interest in it or those who think the lights on melton rd are a waste of money etc... May i wish you all a Happy Diwali....p.s if you usually drive through belgrave at rush hour then tomorrow you are fooked!!! Peace brothers!!!
Webbo Posted 22 October 2014 Posted 22 October 2014 Have a good one Raj and anyone else out there who is celebrating.
Darkon84 Posted 22 October 2014 Posted 22 October 2014 All the best, to anyone celebrating it, I'll definitely be avoiding that area if I'm driving in town this weekend!
oxford blue Posted 22 October 2014 Posted 22 October 2014 If lights are going to be put up to celebrate any festival, it seems reasonable to me. Diwali is the festival of lights and celebrated by 15% of Leicester population (and a far higher % along Melton Rd).
davieG Posted 22 October 2014 Posted 22 October 2014 Have a good Diwali Raj We don't need special lights down our road, lots of house have security ones that switch on when you pass by on the pavement
Julian Joachim Jr Shabadoo Posted 22 October 2014 Posted 22 October 2014 I went down to the celebrations a few years ago to take photos for a college course, they put on a very good show! No chance walking back up the road towards town centre after though, just a massive tidal wave of people trying to get home all walking away from the city Happy Diwali!

fuchsntf Posted 23 October 2014 Posted 23 October 2014 One of the things I still miss from Leicester. Went to the festival in the early years .Fortunate at the time to have had Indian friends, the house and family celebrations, more than the street festivities, were more enjoyable. Been part or seen it when I was in India.
