Diwali celebrations at the Swaminarayan Mandir in Kingsbury

On Friday 24th October, Fryent Councillors were delighted to attended Diwali celebrations at the Swaminarayan Mandir in Kingsbury. The Mandir hosted the evening and invited local residents from the Fryent area together with members from the wider community as well as Hindu worshippers to celebrate the New Year. There was delicious food, information stalls and of course performances from members of the Mandir including the famous bagpipe band in the main hall.

The Mandir itself is beautiful and offerings of food laid out in a spectacular display. People from far and wide attended including Brent Council Leader, Muhammed Butt, GLA Member for Brent and Harrow, Navin Shah, as well as councillors from Brent, Harrow and Barnet (where the Mandir had been located before). We were also delighted to see Uma Kumaran (Parliamentary candidate for Harrow East) celebrating the New Year.

We would like to thank the Swaminarayan Mandir for inviting us to the celebrations and their warm hospitality and we look forward to working closely with them in supporting the communities in Fryent.
