Amalgamation of the two cultures in the light of Prosperity, knowledge, and Hope

The focal point of creating this art is “Amalgamation of the two cultures on Diwali” when India & New Zealand celebrate together, it spread the colors of prosperity, happiness, knowledge and hope in the entire world.

The light in us is not meant to illuminate only our lives but the entire earth. And the earth has diversity – diversity of human beings and diversity of living beings. They are all meant to live together, there is no real jostling of space and the unity in that diversity is true light, real light.

The lighting of the Diya (Oil Lamp) metaphorically reminds us that: Light is knowledge. Light is hope. Light is truth. Light is victory.

Canoe (Waka in Māori) in the ocean of New Zealand with light flame on the top represents oil lamp (Diwali Diya).

Swastika which is auspicious symbol of Hindu culture and Koru (Spiral) is the symbol of Māori culture. Both signifies prosperity and growth.
