Your guide to making this Deepavali one to remember
There’s always been something about Deepavali that draws you in. Maybe because it’s the festival of lights, or maybe because the malls go all out on the decorations. It’s got this overflowing sense of warmth (could be the heat from the fire) everywhere you go.
This year, The Exchange TRX is bringing Deepavali to life like never before, glowing lights, music, workshops, and more. And if you’ve never experienced Deepavali festivities before, run, don’t walk!
From 3rd to 26th October, The Exchange TRX turns festive with glowing décor, performances, and meaningful moments for you to immerse yourself in the traditions and experience the beauty of Malaysia, where we all come together to celebrate.
Expect a line-up of vibrant cultural shows, from traditional dance to live music that capture the heart of the festival. With hands-on workshops like kolam art and candle-making, adding a creative twist to the season, perfect for families and friends to celebrate through art, scent, and design.
Let’s be honest, the festive season is always better when you’re shopping. So here are three spots you could visit to fully get into the Deepavali spirit:
Café Colombo
If Deepavali had a flavour, Café Colombo would come close. Known for its Sri Lankan-inspired comfort food, the restaurant is serving festive specials that blend warmth and spice in all the right ways — think rich curries, soft rotis, and fragrant rice dishes that taste like the classics. It’s the kind of food that fills both your stomach and your soul.
For the festive period, Café Colombo is offering a Deepavali Set Menu featuring signature curries and traditional desserts, perfect for sharing with friends and family.
