Diwali at the Chapel
On November 6, the Hindu Life Program hosted an evening of devotional music & dance, worship, and spiritual reflection, in celebration of Diwali, Hinduism’s Festival of Lights.

We are so excited to be able to share the full video recording of the evening with the ORL community!
