Lumina 2025 brought Diwali’s light to IMT Dubai

20th October 2025

Lumina 2025 brought Diwali’s light to IMT Dubai in a heartfelt three-day celebration of tradition, creativity and togetherness. The festival honoured timeless rituals while giving students space to make new memories through music, art and dance. The tone was both reflective and joyful.

Day 1 opened with a screening of Ramayana: The Legend of Prince Rama, setting a calm, reverent mood. Day 2 came alive with live jamming and student performances that filled the campus with music and laughter. Day 3, the final day, featured colourful rangolis, a soulful arti, and a spirited Dandiya and Garba night that united everyone on the dance floor.

The event reflected IMT Dubai’s multicultural heart and the welcoming spirit of the UAE. As lamps were lit and feet moved to the beat, the campus celebrated not only tradition but belonging, warmth shared across cultures and friendships that last beyond the festival.
