With Diwali days away, traditional Indian clothing boutique, Taprobana, at Suva’s Garden City is a popular spot.
The name Taprobana was inspired from a Sri Lankan, said operations manager Zulfikar Ali.
While Sri Lanka was known during British Rule as Ceylon, going further back into ancient Greek times, the island was referred to as Taprobana.
