Author Anu Sehgal of The Culture Tree Collective leads a Diwali celebration in Midtown: an interactive storytime, a Ramleela puppet show that brings Rama, Sita, Lakshman, Hanuman and Ravana from the Ramayana to life, and a hands-on Diwali art project, ending with a surprise celebration. The performance introduces one of North India's best-loved Diwali traditions and its themes of courage, kindness and good triumphing over evil. Billed for children and families of all backgrounds.

What was checked & what still needs confirmation
NYPL's www pages sit behind Imperva (curl gets a JS stub). Event data read from NYPL's own public Drupal JSON:API (drupal.nypl.org/jsonapi/node/event), the record that renders this page; times converted from UTC to America/New_York; branch address from the linked library node. NYPL describes its calendar programs as free. Cross-check: the Noon Years Eve page was read via Cloudflare Browser Run and matched the API.
