Presented by Stage Door Theatre in collaboration with local Indian traditional arts groups, the event features traditional Indian opening dances, enchanting mythological story readings for children, and hands-on workshops for kids to paint oil lamps (Diya Painting) and create Rangoli ground patterns. At dusk, children will collectively light hundreds of eco-friendly small lamps on the Nature Center's forest lawn. The core area of the Nature Center has accessible pathways, and the forest resting cabin is equipped with restrooms and a diaper changing station. As it may get cool at night, bringing a windbreaker and flashlight is suggested. ## Similar picks coming up in Atlanta - [Douglasville Celebration of Lights Holiday Displays](https://grassyknees.com/atlanta/activities/douglasville-celebration-of-lights-holiday-displays--listing-dbf5d7014ee7acebdd414fe8) — Nov 3 – Jan 10 · Douglasville Town Green · checked Nov 3.
