Bangalore, November 09, 2026 – The Canadian International School (CIS), Bangalore lit up as the school community conducted their annual Diwali festivities with the theme of ‘Roshni Ka Utsav’. The event was a testament to CIS’s efforts in bridging different cultures together as students from all grade levels, faculty and parents, delivered an array of performances.
With over 40 nationalities across the school, this year’s celebration was truly unique and global while being rooted in Indian tradition. The events began with a diya-lighting ceremony by the leadership team, reflecting the school’s commitment to spreading joy and respecting the local traditions.
