KUALA LUMPUR — Four Indian communities in Malaysia — Tamils, Malayalees, Bengalis and Sikhs — are set to celebrate their respective New Year festivals on April 14, each rooted in distinct regional cultures but united by themes of renewal, reflection and tradition.

The mid-April celebrations, which coincide with the start of spring or summer across India, bring together a rich tapestry of rituals, food, and family gatherings. From mango-leaf garlands and floral arrangements to ceremonial feasts and sacred recitations, these festivals highlight the diverse ways Indian heritage continues to thrive in Malaysia.
