An evening bursting with singing and dancing is set to take place at LOROS as the Hospice celebrates the Navratri Festival.

Taking place on Thursday 6th October, LOROS is hosting an extra special event to help celebrate the nine-day festival, which sees Hindus devote their time to prayers, religious singing, chants and meditation.

Each of the nine nights is dedicated to the nine Goddesses, with Navratri itself symbolising ‘good over evil’.Alt text
