Lockdown Diwali & Virtual Navaratri, BBC Asian Network & World Service

The typically abundant and colourful festive gatherings of Diwali and Navaratri were celebrated in lockdown by British Hindus in 2020. For a BBC Asian Network digital video on virtual Navaratri I visited a family who joined a much-loved Garba folk dance celebration from their living room via Zoom. And a month later during Diwali in lockdown, I met other young British Hindus who were determined that it was still worth dressing up for staying in, here is ‘Lockdown Diwali’ also for BBC Asian Network.
