Indian Events in Belgium

In Belgium, the Indian community comes together to celebrate a vibrant tapestry of cultural and religious events throughout the year. Festivals like Diwali, the festival of lights, are joyously observed with colorful decorations, traditional sweets, and fireworks. Holi, the festival of colors, is another lively event where people play with vibrant powders and enjoy festive treats. Navratri, a nine-night festival dedicated to the worship of Goddess Durga, is celebrated with dance performances like Garba and Dandiya. The Indian Diaspora in Belgium often gathers at temples like the Radhadesh Temple in Durbuy or the BAPS Shri Swaminarayan Mandir in Waterloo for these celebrations. Additionally, cultural organizations like the Indian Cultural Centre in Brussels or Indian Students Associations in universities organize events throughout the year, averaging around 10-15 major cultural events annually, creating a strong sense of community among the Indian population in Belgium.
