Photo blog: Deepavali at the heart of Johor Bahru

This Deepavali street festival is a feast for the senses and consumers alike.

Colourful lights, sweetmeats, festive cookies and traditional cloths filled the heart of Johor Bahru town again this year, where more lots were made available to vendors and a bigger crowd turned up to shop to their heart’s content. It looks like JB people are going all out for festive preparations this year.

Garlands upon garlands of flowers, for prayers
Henna tattoos predate all reality TV and marketing cool
The style council confers on this season's colours
Shoppers consider the brilliant entertainment culture on offer
This becomes you, ma'am
All that yellow! This trader does a roaring trade
Step right up: a closer look at the global theatre of dreams
Jeans do not come from America
But Mickey might beg to differ


Yes, I'm dressing him up
Keeping the peace
Burgers do not come from America, just ask the Don
Semua boleh, mem: Diwali fashion for all
A bout of stage fright
Excellent!
