Seasia Roam

🇮🇳 Lord Hanuman symbolizes protection from evil forces and the granting of strength and courage to devotees. His pivotal role in the Ramayana, where he helps in the rescue of Sita and assists Lord Rama in vanquishing Ravana, underscores his importance in Hindu culture and the belief in his divine protection. This profound connection between the Hanuman and Diwali will be celebrated at the IndoIndians Diwali Bazaar 2024, held on Sunday, 15 September, at The Westin Hotel, Jakarta, Indonesia. Diwali, the festival of lights, marks the joyous return of Lord Ram to Ayodhya. The event will showcase the lasting influence of Indian traditions on Indonesian culture, offering a dynamic and meaningful community celebration.

🇮🇳 The Ramayana has profoundly influenced art, culture, and literature across the Indian subcontinent and Southeast Asia, inspiring adaptations in various forms such as literature, dance, and temple architecture. In Indonesia, particularly in Java and Bali, this epic forms the foundation for traditional dance dramas like Sendratari Ramayana and shadow puppet (wayang) performances. Thailand’s Ramakien presents a localized version of the tale, while the Maranao epic Maharadia Lawana in the Philippines offers an indigenized interpretation suited to regional perspectives. This deep cultural connection between India and Indonesia will be celebrated at the Indoindians Diwali Bazaar 2024, held on Sunday, 15 September, at The Westin Hotel, Jakarta, Indonesia. Diwali, the festival of lights in Hinduism, commemorates the joyous return of Lord Rama to Ayodhya with his wife Sita and brother Lakshmana. The event will highlight the lasting impact of Indian culture on Indonesian traditions, providing a vibrant gathering for the community. Early bird tickets are available at bit.ly/promo-tix, with proceeds supporting the Limbs for Limbless Program, adding a philanthropic dimension to this cultural celebration. 🎇 #Seasia #SeasiaNews #India #Indonesia #IndoIndians #DiwaliBazaar
