🪔 Celebrate the Festival of Lights with a Captivating Performance! 🪔

A massive thank you to the Natyalayaa Dance School for bringing the beauty of traditional Indian Classical Dance—Bharatnatyam—to Eltham Diwali every single year. We are incredibly grateful to welcome back their talented dancers to the stage for Eltham Diwali 2026!

Come and experience the grace, rhythm, and storytelling of this ancient art form.

This year, we are thrilled to feature two exceptional performers:

✨ Drishti (Year 11): Learning Bharatnatyam since 2016, Drishti is deeply passionate about this art form. She will be performing the beautiful Lakshmi Dance, dedicated to the Goddess of Wealth.

✨ Mira Joshi (Year 7): Training with Natyalayaa Dance School since 2020, Mira has embraced this dance form over the last 6 years and already has more than 10 stage performances under her belt! She will be performing "Pushpanjali"—a sacred opening salutation and offering of flowers to invoke blessings, purity, and an auspicious start.

Eltham, get ready for a unique experience and a true treat for your ears! 🎶

This year at Eltham Diwali, we are thrilled to feature a rare appearance of a beautiful traditional instrument—the Santoor, played by the talented Mandar Joshi.

Mandar began his Santoor journey in 2000 under Dr. Dhananjay Daithankar in Pune, India. After moving to Melbourne in 2004, continuing his training came with challenges, but his dedication kept his passion alive. Beyond his own stage performances, Mandar has been actively involved with the Natraj Cultural Centre in Eltham, helping organize Hindustani classical music concerts featuring legendary maestros like Pandit Shivkumar Sharma, Dr. L. Subramaniam, Vd Meeta Pandit, and Vd Dr. Ashwini Bhide.

Most recently, he performed at the Melbourne Meets Modi event, showcasing the rich traditions of classical music. Now, Mandar is bringing the melodious, mesmerizing sounds of the Santoor right to Eltham🌟

The Eltham Diwali Festival is fast approaching, and Eltham is ready to come alive! 🪔✨

To celebrate Diwali, Eltham Bookshop has put together a beautiful display of Diwali books. Even better? They’ve arranged for the wonderful author, Isobel de Border, to join the festivities and sign her books! 📚✒️

Here is a short excerpt from Isobel and her book:
Bella & Rami explores themes of love, sexuality, childhood trauma, and resilience. A work of autofiction, it is also about the shifting sands of memory, the power of the written word, and the search for self and other that takes most of us a life time. The canvas of the story stretches from Australia to India and back.

Local author, Isobel de Border, grew up in Papua New Guinea and Australia. She is a traveler, lover of nature and a frequent visitor to India She has had a career in International Aid and Development visiting several countries globally. Her debut novel was launched at Eltham Bookshop recently.
