MELBOURNE, AUSTRALIA, October 6, 2009: In an unprecedented move, Australia’s Victorian state will this year light up major installations including its parliament, airport and Indian consulate during Diwali.
Under a seven-day long lighting competition being organized by Celebrate India Inc. and beginning from October 10, prime buildings in Melbourne will be lit up, event coordinator of the organization Arun Sharma said.
“For the first time Melbourne departure lounge and Indian Consulate will be decorated apart from the state parliament building, Horsham council, museums and other parts of the city, and cultural programs like dhol and rangoli events will be held there,” he added.
