With this year’s theme “Padharo Mhare Des” Hum Sub and Town of Cary invite you to revel in the wonders of Rajasthan at Cary Diwali 2009. Come enjoy a day of dance and gaiety, and be transported to the “land of royalty,” called Rajasthan, the largest and may be the most colorful state of India. Indulge in a time-honored celebration of light and the triumph of good over evil. As evening descends, join the chorus of voices, the melding of all ages and languages, which fill the night with song along with Indian Idols Sandeep Acharya and Aditi Paul in their highlight performance. Later, watch in wonder as the sky over Koka Booth Amphitheatre fills with a grand fireworks display. Yes, Cary Diwali really does have it all. Whether you immerse yourself in the music and exhibitions, or sample the authentic cuisine and handicrafts bazaar, bring your five senses and be prepared to be blown away by the rich tradition of this royal land- Rajasthan is calling.

A must see in this year’s Cary Diwali is an exhibition on Rajasthan. We celebrate its rich history filled with stories of great warriors and their chivalry, romance, glory and tragedy. Rajasthan is often described as a huge open-air museum with invincible forts, magnificent palaces, serene lakes, sand dunes and lush green forests with its wildlife. This year we hope to capture the traditions, legends, and spirit of Rajasthan in our exhibition.

Cary Diwali is an open-air festival, and has gained a large following since its inception in 2001. Last year alone, this popular Triangle event pulled a record crowd of over 12,000. With an even better program in works for this year, plan to be there! This event is free for the public.
