A Diya (earthen lamp) as Diwali decor
Diwali is officially over, though it doesn’t feel like it — firecrackers are still being burst outside. Though it is meant to be the festival of lights, it has been the festival of noise for a few years now. 🙂 But it still remains one of the most widely celebrated festivals in the extremely diverse India. If there’s a book on festivals of India, a diya (earthen lamp) symbolizing Diwali would make for an apt cover picture.
Now that would be a thick book… or maybe it would be a series, since that’s the fashion these days! 😉

Shubh Diwali to you from Trinidad. We celebrated it yesterday, and despite all the rain we had, the devotees lit deyas well into the night.

Thank you very much, and wish you the same! It rained here in Bangalore as well, and of course, it didn’t stop anyone from celebrating! Goes to show how people are the same everywhere, huh? 🙂
