Happy Diwali! Diwali is known as the “festival of lights” thanks to the practice of lighting oil lamps and decorating homes and cities with strings of twinkling lights to symbolize the victory of light over darkness. It is a major festival celebrated over five days in many parts of India by people of different faiths including many Hindus, Jains, Sikhs, Muslims and some Buddhists. At the CLC, we embrace all cultures and encourage learning about traditions, holidays, customs through the sharing and making of food! For our Diwali appreciation, we will learn to make Channa Banatura- a hearty veggie chickpea curry served with fried bread. Instructor: Lindsay Smith
