Shining Bright: Diwali at Remuera Gardens

Celebrating Diwali at Remuera Gardens 

At Real Living, we take pride in celebrating the many cultures that shape New Zealand — and our vibrant villages.

This week, Remuera Gardens came alive with colour, music, and joy as we celebrated Diwali, the Hindu Festival of Lights — a beautiful tradition symbolising the triumph of light over darkness and good over evil.

Our incredible team put on a stunning display of Indian culture, complete with a fashion parade and dance performances that delighted residents and their families.

Happy Diwali from all of us at Real Living!
