Show by RNZ
Arnav Taode, event manager of the Auckland Diwali Festival 2026, speaks to Perlina from the festival. Originally from Pune in India, he grew up moving around the country with his family, which gave him a lifelong interest in Indian arts and culture. He moved to New Zealand in 2014, went to the festival in his first year, and was struck by its scale. He has returned almost every year since, including as a stage designer.
