The take
Serangoon Road lights up for Deepavali, which falls in October or November, with a street bazaar and long queues at the temples. Tekka Centre is still the place to eat, and dress modestly if you step into a temple.
Good to know
The lights usually come on daily from 7pm to midnight through the festival
The Festival Village is LISHA's flagship cultural festival for Deepavali
Where it was: Serangoon Road in Little India, where LISHA's light-up usually stretches about 2km; the Festival Village is usually on Campbell Lane
