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.
