Divali Optocht

[The Guy in Pink]

Subh  Davali !!

 

Holy Roller had a rant about Divali and fireworks earlier in the week. 

Here in Nickerie Thursday night about 2000 people (10% 0f the population) took part in a optocht (procession) through the streets celebrating this important festival of light. (not one firework to be heard)

The Guys in Pink was there on his bike with his camera following the Optocht for Hubbbers. 

 

 

Of Course being Nickerie Bikes were an important part of the proceedings

 

 

Colour full costumes and lights everywhere.

 

 

Colour, lights and Bikes, this is Nickerie.

 

From Lamps to Flaming torches, Light is light.  

 

Bikes, Balloons, Lights and Palms. It's all fun

 

Young Girls were carried aloft representing the Goddess.

The Load is light and even the bearers of the litter had fun

 

 

And still more bikes passed the Guys in pink.

 

 

Look at the smiles and  the joy of the participants, they really had fun!

 

 

The Guy in Pink also had fun on his bike.

Friday is a public Holiday to Celebrate Divali , and to-morrow night the residents will celebrate at home, lighting lamps in their homes and on the streets in front of their houses .

 

Sahb Divali !!
