Happy Deepavalli

Wish you all a very Happy Deepavali Today is the festival of lights. "Deepa" means light and "Bali" means an array or row . It signifies the good conquering evil! People wake up early have an oil head bath and wear new clothes and take the blessings of elders and gods. Lots of savories - both salty and sweet. And of course firecrackers! ! What fun! Then we go out and exchange sweets with relatives and of course show off our pretty new dresses! In the evening rows of mud lamps - deepas are lit.A beautiful sight to behold. WISHING YOU ALL AVERY HAPPY DEEPAVALI ONCE MORE
