Throughout October and November 2025, several BAPS Swaminarayan mandirs and centres in the UK and Europe hosted their own Children’s Diwali Celebrations, filling the festivities with laughter and learning.
Children aged 3 to 13 came together to explore the traditions, values, and inspiring stories from the Ramayan and other Hindu scriptures.
Through interactive storytelling, themed activities, and engaging games, youngsters discovered timeless lessons of courage, kindness, and unity.
Creative Diwali-themed crafts, puzzles, and short skits further nurtured friendships while helping children connect with their cultural heritage in a memorable and enjoyable way.
The celebrations also highlighted values such as gratitude, empathy, and service – echoing the guidance of His Holiness Mahant Swami Maharaj to live with humility, selflessness, and harmony.
These special events were made possible through the dedication of volunteers of all ages, whose warmth and enthusiasm created a welcoming and uplifting environment for every family.
