The University of Iowa's Indian Student Alliance will be hosting our annual Diwali festival. Diwali is an auspicious Indian holiday, also known as the "Festival of Lights", celebrating the triumph of light over darkness and good over evil. The event will feature dinner, and a variety of performances including the University of Iowa's South-Asian A cappella group, Iowa Agni, and premiere Bollywood-fusion dance team, Iowa Andhi. See you there at the Iowa Memorial Union!
