The Seattle Asian Art Museum [4] is celebrating Diwali [5], the Indian festival of lights, with a Diwali Ball [6] next Saturday night. Festivities include live music, dance performances, and “bollygrooves” music by DJ Aanshul [7]. Tickets are $50 a head, but that includes Indian tapas, wine, beer and “signature cocktails.”
This sounds like fun, but it got me wondering what other Diwali celebrations are going on in Seattle. Perhaps something a little more low key. I searched around, but couldn’t find a thing. Anyone know of any?
If you’d like to go to the ball at SAAM, tickets are available here [8] for $50 a person. Or $150 gets you a Rajah ticket which includes an invitation to the VIP opening of Garden and Cosmos: The Royal Paintings of Jodphur [9]. All proceeds from the ball go to support the exhibit.
