Fireworks, parties, and great food filled Nairobi’s Parklands and Westlands neighbourhoods over the weekend as members of the Hindu community celebrated Diwali, also known as the Festival of Lights.
The celebrations, which ran from Friday, November 6, to Sunday, November 8, 2026, saw the city’s Indian community mark one of its most significant religious and cultural festivals.
Usually celebrated between late October and November, depending on the moon, the day is associated with the triumph of good over evil, light over darkness and knowledge over ignorance.
