The story

Berbice Deepavali Motorcade in New Amsterdam/Corriverton

The Berbice leg of the Guyana Hindu Dharmic Sabha's annual countrywide Diwali motorcade, drawing mandirs and lit floats from New Amsterdam, Corriverton, and surrounding Corentyne communities. It runs as one of three regional praant motorcades, alongside Demerara and Essequibo, within the same national Deepavali tradition.

The Guyana Hindu Dharmic Sabha organizes its annual Diwali motorcade as a three-praant structure covering Guyana's Demerara, Essequibo, and Berbice counties, with the Berbice leg drawing mandirs and float groups from communities along the Corentyne coast including New Amsterdam and Corriverton.

The part that makes it specific.

The place changes
