Deepavali 2020

Two days before Deepavali, I went to The Gardens & Mid Valley malls for grocery shopping.
It was a weekday but there were quite a handful of shoppers around. Seems like business is back as usual in some shops/restaurants as I see people dined-in and leisurely walked around the malls with their shopping bags. And nope, they are not those celebrating the Deepavali as mostly are non-Indian shoppers!
And surprisingly there were also lotsa vehicles on the roads despite the CMCO...which means Klang Valley folks are still travelling around/goin to the offices(?).
Parking at the mall are aplenty as most offices in that area are not fully open.
This year decoration at The Gardens mall:
Their colourful 'kolam' is always that impressive! Thumbs up!
I'm sure that the staffs spent many hours to assemble this piece of art!
the Deepavali lanterns...just 'meh'....I think I have seen these lanterns before (must be recycled from the previous years)
here's the view of the 'kolam' from above. 
Huge!

Nice decor! I haven't been to any malls since cmco in October. Are there many people shopping for grocery inside the 3 supermarkets in Midvalley/Gardens malls?

Didn't quite see any decor here in Malacca...guess the CMCO really dampened the mood.

Nancy Chan: yea beautiful!

Mun: There are moderate amount of people, just like a typical weekday.

Tekkaus: Maybe short of budget to 'invest' in decoratives….Over here in KL, decorations are quite minimal too.
