Essequibo Deepavali Motorcade in Anna Regina/Essequibo Coast
The Essequibo Coast leg of Guyana's national Diwali motorcade tradition, held at the Anna Regina Car Park with mandirs competing in large and small illuminated-float categories. Organized by the Guyana Hindu Dharmic Sabha's Essequibo Coast Praant, it has run for roughly five decades as a regional counterpart to Georgetown's motorcade.
Twelve mandirs and one commercial float lit up the Anna Regina Car Park for the Guyana Hindu Dharmic Sabha's Essequibo Coast Praant Diwali motorcade, a regional leg of the countrywide Deepavali celebration that organizers describe as running for five decades and evolving into a cherished tradition promoting unity and togetherness.
