林聰賢校務顧問致詞時表示，自己曾造訪印度，對宜蘭大學能夠舉辦如此具深度與文化內涵的國際節慶活動感到相當驚喜，也肯定宜大在推動國際化上的用心與努力。

活動由印度學生介紹排燈節（Diwali）的由來，並帶領進行傳統祭拜儀式（Pooja）揭開序幕。會場以油燈（Diya）、萬壽菊花環，以及由本校印度學生親手製作的傳統地畫「藍國麗」（Rangoli）妝點，營造出濃厚且莊重的節慶氛圍。印度學生團隊亦精心準備道地手作印度點心與香料茶（Masala Tea），香氣四溢，吸引眾多師生排隊品嚐。學生們同時安排了魔術與舞蹈表演，傳遞排燈節象徵的喜悅、光明與共享精神。

今年活動最受矚目的亮點，莫過於「國際特色服裝秀」。除印度學生身著華麗傳統服飾登場外，原住民族學生與同仁也穿著泰雅、阿美、布農與排灣族服飾共同走秀，日本交換生則以清新典雅的浴衣加入展演，多元文化交織出一幅美麗動人的國際風景，贏得全場熱烈掌聲與歡呼。
