Diwali, or the Indian Festival of Lights, is a celebration of all things good – friends, family, food and festivities. So it’s no surprise that days after the happy occasion, the celebratory mood was still high and the parties went on. One such event was the Diwali party of Anis Sajan, Vice-Chairman, Danube Group. Here’s a behind-the-scenes look at the occasion. From left: Adel Sajan, Anis Sajan, Rubina Sajan, Sameera Sajan, Rizwan Sajan, Azhar Sajan and Sahil Sajan. Image Credit: Supplied
