Tweet

It's Deepawali(Diwali) in India today. Deepawali is the festival of light when people decorate their houses with lamps. Earthen lamps are traditional but with the advent of electrical lights houses wear a very bright look. Basically, the festival is about the victory of good over evil, of light over darkness. in our home children lighted 14 lamps last evening. Today, they will place all their lamps in line all over the terrace fences and parapets and light them in the evening. There will be special sweets to eat. We have decided not to burst firecrackers in our children's home in honor of the people killed in the fireworks factory accident in our village.
