Mediacorp’s Amarkala Deepavali 2025 ushers in the Festival of Lights with music, dance and community spirit

Mediacorp’s annual Deepavali countdown show, Amarkala Deepavali 2025, lit up The Theatre at Mediacorp on Sunday night (Oct 19) with more than two hours of live performances, dance numbers and festive cheer, marking the arrival of the Festival of Lights at midnight.

This year’s show is the event’s 19th edition, carrying the theme Namma Deepavali (Our Deepavali) and featuring a family-centric storyline performed by artistes Alawdwin Ali, Karthikeyan Somasundaram, Maahes Chandiras, Puravalan Narayanasamy, Shamini G and Udaya Soundari. 

The night’s entertainment included dance sequences, comedy skits and musical medleys by homegrown acts, alongside a performance by South Indian singer and voice actress Chinmayi.

The performances were based on values such as love, forgiveness and generosity, which encompass the essence of Deepavali. 

The event was also attended by Minister for Law and Second Minister for Home Affairs Edwin Tong who was the Guest-of-Honour.
