Why Van Deepotsav
This is how Diwali should be celebrated.
Van Deepotsav is a two-day, overnight Diwali inside Sumiran Forest, a 300-acre community-conserved forest near Bilkisganj. Everything that makes Diwali sacred stays: the diyas, the Laxmi Pujan, a shared festive meal. The smoke and the noise stay in the city.
Done with smoke and noise?
A cracker-free, noise-free night. Clean air, quiet trees and a sky full of stars. Easy on little lungs and on elders.
Love nature and adventure?
Archery, target shooting, kayaking, a night forest walk, birding and stargazing, all in two days.
