Diwali Quad Lighting
Diwali Quad Lighting is one of our major yearly events, where we decorate the main quad (union side) with thousands of candles. It indeed is one of the most beautiful events held in UIUC (revealed to us unofficially by the officials!), and a definite must see as part of your stay in UIUC. Our bet is that, this spectacular sight will make you forget your homesickness (if you are!!) for the whole night!
Check this out!
Diwali Quad Lighting was on the front page of the Daily Illini on 20th October 2009

IGSA Diwali Night
Diwali has always been that time of the year, when we go home to be with family, or meet those friends whom we meet once a year, and not to forget, innumerable relatives! No matter, which part of India you belong to, Diwali has its own charm.
And to keep this spirit of Diwali alive, the Indian Graduate Students Association organises the Diwali Night. Diwali night is the place where you can meet your friends, enjoy the outstanding perfromances by the graduate students, and gorge on delicious indian food!
