India’s first immersive light festival returns with dazzling décor and large-scale art installations, transforming the city’s Diwali celebrations
Bengaluru, October 15, 2025: Phoenix Mall of Asia, the city’s leading lifestyle and cultural destination, proudly presents the second edition of the Phoenix India Light Festival (ILF) – Sitaro Ki Diwali: The Festival of Lights, Redefined.
Launched in September to coincide with Navratri, the grand Diwali installation has transformed the central plaza into a radiant festive landmark — glowing with star-inspired sculptures, shimmering lights, and immersive art displays that capture the spirit of the season.
Following the phenomenal success of last year’s edition, which became a visual landmark for Bengaluru, ILF 2025 returns with the evocative theme “Rhythms of Reverie.” This year, the festival reimagines the mall as a luminous realm where art, design, and technology unite to create an enchanting journey through light, colour, and emotion.
At the heart of ILF 2025 lies a symphony of light — rhythmic patterns, dynamic beams, and glowing installations that create harmony between movement and stillness. Each display invites visitors to pause, reflect, and immerse themselves in moments of awe and connection.
The festival features a collection of large-scale light art environments, each offering a unique sensory story:
Echoes: A portal of shifting light inspired by the aurora, where waves of glow mirror fleeting memories. The towering frame, illuminated by animated multi-colour LEDs, serves as a gateway to a surreal, intergalactic experience.
Tunnel of Colour: A radiant walkway surrounded by layered beams and ever-changing hues, transforming each step into a living artwork. The installation’s vibrant palette invites visitors to pause, pose, and revel in its constantly evolving atmosphere.
Dreamscape: A luminous maze inspired by galaxies, featuring a woven network of lights and gradients that simulate walking through a living constellation. As visitors move through it, ripples of colour and shadow invite curiosity and rediscovery.
Chasing Stars: A breathtaking celestial archway adorned with strings of light and illuminated stars that sweep across the sky like shooting stars. Larger-than-life stars and moving projections recreate the magic of standing beneath a sky alive with wishes.
Together, these installations transform Phoenix Mall of Asia into an interactive wonderland, where creativity, technology, and human connection converge to celebrate the essence of Diwali — light, unity, and joy.
Speaking about the festival, Ritu Mehta, Centre Director – Phoenix Mall of Asia and Director of Marketing – South, said, “Phoenix India Light Festival 2025 is among the most immersive and experiential light festivals in India, seamlessly blending art, technology, and imagination into a celebration that evokes wonder. At Phoenix, our vision is to curate experiences that inspire creativity, connection, and happiness. Bengaluru’s vibrant cultural spirit provides the perfect setting for this luminous journey, and we’re thrilled to unite the city once again under the brilliance of light.”
Free and open to the public, ILF 2025 invites families, art enthusiasts, and travellers from around the world to experience a festival where art meets innovation. With its blend of accessibility, creativity, and scale, Phoenix Mall of Asia reaffirms its position as Bengaluru’s leading destination for culture, celebration, and community engagement.
