The South Asian Circle of Hopkinton hosted Rhythms and Raagas on Saturday at the DoubleTree Hotel in Westborough to celebrate Diwali and other South Asian festivals. The event was a musical theater “throwing a spotlight on key traditions and rituals surrounding festivals originating from South Asia that are celebrated by many immigrant communities across the globe, creating and leaving behind a rich fabric of subcultures for future generations to observe.” The event was co-funded by Mass Cultural Council through its Festivals and Projects grant.
