Happy Diwali!

Diwali is the celebration of the festival of lights!

Diwali is symbolized by the lighting of diyas (oil lamps), candles, and colorful decorative lights. This represents the victory of light over darkness and the dispelling of ignorance.

The specific customs and traditions associated with Diwali may vary from region to region and among different communities within India. Overall, Diwali is a time for family gatherings, spiritual reflection, and spreading joy and happiness. It is one of the most widely celebrated and anticipated festivals in India.

Shubh Deepavali!

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.
