Joining in a procession that transformed the Archway Road into a sea of colour, local MP and Highgate resident Lynne Featherstone on Sunday celebrated the Highgate Hill Hindu Murugan Temple’s Chariot festival with hundreds of followers from across London.

The procession, where a replica of the Hindu God Shiva was carried on a mini-shrine along the Archway Road and side streets around the Temple, marked the culmination of a two week long religious festival.

Lynne Featherstone comments:

“I’m honoured to be invited to take part in this important religious event which also shows the fantastic cultural diversity we have here in the heart of Highgate. It’s easy to lose yourself in all the colour and music and forget that you’re actually on the Archway Road.”
