Established in 1985 as a way of bringing people across North West England together with a common love for the arts, Milap has grown into the UK’s leading Indian Arts and Culture company, with a remit that continues to focus on performance, learning and development.
This Autumn, they are taking over Liverpool and Merseyside with a host of fantastic programme music and cultural events.
Milap Celebrate Diwali in Liverpool Announcing Expanded Programme of Events
At the end of October, Milap are spearheading the Liverpool city region's celebrations for Diwali - the iconic Hindu Festival of Lights. Building on last year's successes, 2024 sees an expanded programme of events.
Including both children's storytelling and craft workshops in association with The Reader and the return of the wildly popular Diwali Brunch at Bundobust Liverpool, Milap will also - for the first time - collaborate with River of Light. This year's programme will bring the "surreal, joyful, loud and unapologetic" work of artist Murugiah to the city's outdoor trail.
'Rangoli Mirrored Cosmos' by MURUGIAH, Commissioned by Greenwich Peninsula.
River of Light + Milap
A highlight in Liverpool’s arts and culture calendar, River of Light is an annual free event that provides an outdoor illuminated gallery on Liverpool’s Waterfront, featuring light and sound from local, national and international artists. This year's instalment will feature 12 large-scale installations of Visual Art centred around the theme 'Play'.
This autumn, River of Light will partner with Milap to present an Indian-inspired light installation, perfectly timed for Diwali - the Indian festival of lights. Internationally acclaimed artist Murugiah will present his highly acclaimed work, ‘Rangoli Mirrored Cosmos’, commissioned by Greenwich Peninsula. The piece is a vivid three-dimensional sculpture representing the interconnectivity of existence; a diagram of the cosmos.
Shez Raja: Live @ Future Yard, Birkenhead
On 28th September, Milap collaborate with Future Yard for the first time to present Wirral-born Bass Virtuoso, Shez Raja.

For the first time in 25 years, Raja returns for a special and heartfelt homecoming show. Expect a sonic kaleidoscope of euphoric jazz, thundering funk, tuneful ragas and intoxicating grooves.
