DIYA DECORATION!!

Diwali- The Festival Of Lights!!

Diwali or Deepawali is certainly the biggest of all Hindu festivals. It's the festival of lights (deep=light and avali=a row i.e., a row of lights) that's marked by four days of celebration, which literally illumines the country with its brilliance and dazzles all with its joy. Each of the four days in the festival of Diwali is separated by a different tradition, but what remains true and constant is the celebration of life, its enjoyment and goodness. My Diwali celebrations are not very elaborate. During my childhood, I used to be pretty excited to burst firecrackers and light diyas with my parents. Diwali for me means fun time with family and friends with good food and drinks. We mostly have friends coming over in the evening. And yes, I still love lighting those lovely colorful diyas. So here's wishing everybody very Happy Diwali!!
