It's Diwali, the festival of lights here in India. All over the houses are decked with lights and diyas. I too decorated my house with diyas. On this day we pray both to Goddess Kali and also Goddess Lakshmi for destruction of all evils and bring happiness into our lives. I have finished my prayers. Finished preparing dinner (Puri and curry). Will have it at 8.30pm
I had a busy but happy day. My son is here with me to share this happy day.
Wishing all my mylot friends a Happy Diwali. May God light up your lives and make it happy.

Yes, you are right. Therefore in India there's a saying "Baroh mas thereo parbo " which means 12 months and thirteen festivals.

Yes, we were free to burn lamps lights. People could perform puja publicly in temples and pandals. The pomp and show was a lively enough to lift our spirit.
