Events
Deepavali 2026 at Orion Malls runs from 10 October to 8 November. Orion Mall at Brigade Gateway in Rajajinagar features Ram Setu, Ashok Vatika and a grand Mysore Palace-themed stage by the lake, while Orion Uptown Mall unveils a mythology-inspired Pushpak Vimana installation. Décor viewing is free.
Some stories return every Deepavali, but this year, you can walk through one. From 10 October to 8 November 2026, Orion Malls’ Timeless Tradition brings décor inspired by the Ramayana to our three malls in Bengaluru, with festive installations and lights adding to the celebrations. It makes for an outing the whole family can share, with music and cultural performances filling the evenings. Whether you're looking for Diwali events in Bengaluru or gathering Diwali decor ideas for your own home, here's what to see at each mall and how to plan your visit.
Every Deepavali, homes across Bengaluru come alive with diyas, rangoli and stories that families have passed down for generations. Timeless Tradition carries those stories out of the living room and into the Orion Malls of the city. It draws on an epic tale of hope, faith and homecoming and reimagines it as décor you can experience firsthand.
Each Orion Mall interprets the theme in its own way:
Visit the mall closest to home for an easy evening out, or spread your visits across the season to enjoy the festive experiences at each location.
Orion Mall at Brigade Gateway sits within the 40-acre Brigade Gateway enclave in Rajajinagar, beside a lake many Bengalureans know from evening walks and sunset dinners along the promenade. For Deepavali 2026, the lakeside becomes the centrepiece of the celebrations.
The lakeside features Ram Setu, inspired by the legendary bridge from the Ramayana. The installation represents strength, resilience and belief, bringing an important part of the epic to life.
A little further along, Ashok Vatika takes inspiration from the garden in the Ramayana, a place associated with hope and patience. It adds another meaningful element to the festive décor experience.
The trail ends at a grand stage modelled on the Mysore Palace, the royal residence in Mysuru famous for glowing with thousands of lights during Dasara. This recreation brings one of Karnataka's most recognisable landmarks to Bengaluru. Through the season, it serves as the backdrop for the campaign's cultural performances.
The festive atmosphere continues beyond the lake, making the mall a destination for visitors looking to enjoy the décor, a lakeside meal or an evening of festive shopping.
Orion Uptown Mall, your neighbourhood mall on Old Madras Road, tells its part of the story through a single, striking centrepiece. In many retellings, Deepavali marks a homecoming, the night when lamps were lit across a city to welcome a long-awaited return. The atrium installation draws on that moment: a mythology-inspired chariot installation based on the Pushpak Vimana, the celestial chariot of legend said to have carried the hero home.
The chariot rests on a tiered golden platform, its wings swept wide and a domed canopy rising above a richly upholstered seat. Around it stand lotus-lamp pillars inscribed with three values at the heart of the season: righteousness, truth and devotion. Children tend to gravitate towards the wings and the sweeping steps, while grandparents can share what each word on the pillars means to them.
The festive details continue throughout the mall. Along the railings on each level, illuminated elephants carrying ceremonial parasols, an image borrowed from royal processions, trace the curve of the atrium in light. From the upper floors, you can look down and take in the chariot, the elephants and the lamps as one composition. Outside, festive façade lighting announces the celebration to everyone travelling along Old Madras Road.
At Orion Avenue Mall, Bengaluru's neighbourhood mall in Banaswadi, the festive season brings opportunities for shopping, dining and spending time with family.
The mall also hosts Vaishnavi Natyashala's Ramayana on 24 October 2026, with free entry for visitors.
Located close to the neighbourhoods of Cooke Town, Cox Town and Kammanahalli, Orion Avenue Mall makes it easy to combine festive shopping and dinner close to home.
The décor sets the scene, and the events give you reasons to come back. Here's where and when each one takes place.

For one weekend in October, the festive season at Orion Mall at Brigade Gateway gains a soundtrack of revving engines. October Biker Fest began in 2019 and has grown with every edition into a major gathering for the riding community. It brings together bikers from across the country to celebrate the open road and the friendships it builds.
On 24 October, Raghu Dixit Live in Concert brings an evening of folk-rock music to Orion Mall at Brigade Gateway. Raghu Dixit grew up in Mysuru and is now based in Bengaluru. He has taken his folk-rock sound, rooted in Kannada poetry, to audiences in more than 30 countries. The concert is a ticketed event.
On 25 October, October Biker Fest brings together motorcycling and automotive enthusiasts, with superbikes, supercars and displays of high-performance vehicles. The event is ticketed. Timings and ticket details will appear on the Orion Malls website, which is worth checking before your visit.
As October turns into November, the celebrations take on a more reflective tone. Each mall hosts cultural experiences that celebrate India's festive traditions.
The highlight of the season at Orion Mall at Brigade Gateway is Prabhath Kalavidaru's Shree Rama Prateeksha, a theatrical stage production based on Maharishi Valmiki's Ramayana. Prateeksha means anticipation, and the play follows the life and journey of Lord Rama through dramatic performance, storytelling, dance and thematic lighting. The production keeps families and children in mind.
The timing carries special meaning for Bengaluru. Karnataka Rajyotsava falls on 1 November and marks the day in 1956 when Kannada-speaking regions came together to form a single state. Every year, the city celebrates with red and yellow flags, Kannada music and cultural programmes. Shree Rama Prateeksha joins those celebrations with dialogue in Kannada and English subtitles, so every visitor can follow the story.
At Orion Mall at Brigade Gateway, Shree Rama Prateeksha takes the lakeside stage on 1 November, with the Mysore Palace-inspired backdrop making a fitting setting for a Rajyotsava evening. This is a ticketed event, with BookMyShow as the official booking platform.
Orion Avenue Mall hosts Vaishnavi Natyashala's Ramayana on 24 October, while Orion Uptown Mall hosts the performance on 25 October. Entry is free at both locations.
The Deepavali decoration stays up from 10 October to 8 November 2026 at all three malls. Arrive around sunset, when the installations come into their own under the festive lights, and check the mall's page for lighting schedules before you set out.
Weekday evenings usually feel calmer for a family walk, while event weekends bring bigger crowds. For the best of both, see the décor on a weekday and return for an event, keeping in mind that timings and ticketing differ between malls.
All three malls stay open from 10 AM to 10 PM every day.
Each mall offers on-site parking, and you don't need a ticket or registration to see the décor.
Make a day of it with festive shopping and sunset dining by the lake at Orion Mall. Find the latest event pages on orionmalls.com before you go.
