Feel the Festivity, Even When You Travel
Indians make the third largest ethnic group in Singapore and therefore it shouldn't come as a surprise that the festive enthusiasm remains as high there as in India. When Diwali is next on the calendar, Singapore is celebrating the festival of lights in its own special way.
Singapore's Land Transport Authority launched a theme based train, especially for Diwali to enjoy the celebrations in a much bigger way.
Launched on October 15 by the Transport Minister Khaw Boon, the train will run on the North East Line (Nel) till mid- November.
The train displays elegant designs, intricate rangolis along with lotus and peacock, a symbol of good luck. Colourful and vibrant, this special train is a treat for the travelers in Singapore, where the 10% of the population is connected to India.
And not just the train interiors, even the train stations are decorated with the creative artistry.
