Memories From Deepavali Through 10 Festive Tatlergrams

Deepavali – the joyous occasion dubbed as the festival of lights is one season our high society friends look forward to yearly. Vibrant, full traditional attire, intricate kolam artworks and glorious delicacies, among others, were in profusion this time around.

Love was the theme for couples like Carey Ng and Roen Cian Nagapan, the former of whom was radiant in blue and a pregnancy glow. Dato’ Sri Bernard Chandran and Datin Sri Mary Lourdes shared sweet moments in colourful costume and statement accessories, while Kavita Sidhu and Roberto Guiati respectively upped their game with a pink umbrella and blue turban. The bond between Serena C and her daughter tugged at our hearts as they explored the festival by way of designing their own kolam prints, and Dr Jezamine Lim-Iskandar and family were all smiles and kisses in outfits from Bangalore.
