Chinese New Year 2024 at NED

 


It was a joyous evening at the Centre when we celebrated the coming of the Year of the Dragon on Sunday, 18th February.  We began with prayers and bhajans at 7 p.m. followed by Chinese New Year songs.  After Arathi, our SCA Co-ordinator, Sis. Siew Kim distributed red packets and oranges to all devotees present.  This was followed by a sumptuous vegetarian new year dinner beginning with Loh Hei or tossing of Yee Sang.
