Why it belongs here

Michigan Now records Sanatan Dharma and Hindu-community developments in this state. A named Michigan public-university room putting Diwali — a festival of lights — on a campus calendar and opening the door to the public is that lane. This desk records the room and the hour, not a sermon and not a headcount.
