Today is Diwali aka Deepavali, the festival of lights in India. Like the Christmas markets in Europe we have in Mumbai the Kandeel gully (Lantern lane) during this festival. This one is in Mahim/Matunga and one can buy or get made to order lanterns of different sizes and shapes to decorate one's home.
...it was nice to see your post come up on my reader list.

ReplyDeleteWishing you all the best for Deepavalli, Deepak! I lit my lamps and thought of those warmer, livelier climes! YAM xx
The lanterns in your photo are very colorful and they set a cheerful mood.
ReplyDeleteMy city of Melbourne is setting up for Diwali celebrations over the next few days. It kicked off so well with a cricket match played here with 90,000+ spectators, some pro Pakistan but mostly supporters of the Indian team, who did win. Your photo of the lane shows a lot of colour and brightness.
