Dublin's Indian community came together to celebrate "Ireland's Biggest Diwali".
Excited revellers braved the pouring rain to attend the event hosted by Dublin Celebrations in Tallaght on Sunday night. Organiser Rohit Srivastav said one of the main focuses of the night was a stirring performance of Ramlila which is the dramatic re-enactment of the legendary war between Hindu god Ram and the evil demon king Ravana as recorded in the Hindu epic Ramayana.
The celebrations for the festival of lights kicked off at 4pm with a fair where a number of local Indian businesses were selling a wide variety of stunning Indian trinkets and traditional clothes.
