Celebrating Diwali, Iqaluit-style

The pair were among nearly three dozen revellers, many in traditional hand-made Indian garments, who participated in a Diwali celebration Thursday evening at Nunavut Brewing Co. in Iqaluit. Diwali, which fell on Halloween this year, is also known as the Hindu Festival of Lights. (Photo by Daron Letts)
