Organised by the Panvel Municipal Corporation (PMC) with sponsorship from the Shree Ramsheth Thakur Social Development Board, the program aimed to celebrate the festive season through cultural performances and literary expression.\n\nThe highlight of the morning was the spellbinding performance by renowned playback singer Priyanka Barve. She serenaded the audience with a medley of popular Marathi, Hindi and devotional songs, including Marathi classics like 'Tujha Magato Mi Aata', Hindi melodies such as 'Kevha Tari Pahate' and devotional pieces like 'Shayad Phir Is Janam'. Her versatile vocal range and emotive delivery left the audience in rapturous applause.\n\nComplementing the musical extravaganza was the poetic prowess of noted poet and lyricist Vaibhav Joshi. He enriched the programme with thought-provoking and emotionally resonant compositions that delved into themes of life, nature, culture, devotion and human emotions. From reflective verses to uplifting poetry, Joshi's repertoire struck a chord with the audience, eliciting enthusiastic responses throughout the morning.\n\nThe annual Diwali Pahat event, now a beloved tradition in Panvel for nine consecutive years, provided residents with an opportunity to embrace the festive spirit through music, poetry and communal participation.
