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!

With warmth and humour, Judy shared insights from her career and her journey of “evolving” in later life — encouraging everyone to stay active, curious, and connected.
