Deepavali – A time when politicians and the people mingle as one.
The Malaysian Indian Congress (MIC) held its Deepavali open house at the Batu Caves temple grounds recently.
It was the first time the political party had held its annual bash there, and marks a change from previous years, when the MIC open house was held at the Putra World Trade Centre, in middle of Kuala Lumpur.
The event attracted a large multi-racial crowd who mingled like old friends while enjoying the abundant food, to the accompaniment of traditional Indian music performed live.
Below is a selection of photos that captures the spirit of the occasion at that most iconic of locations, Batu Caves.
