Diwali is a time of celebration, decoration, indulgence and getting together with family to welcome the new year and light up homes and hearts with lights, crackers and memories.

This year would be special for our family as we will be celebrating Diwali in India.







As the days come closer, the food extravaganza start with days spent in preparing sweets & savories, which are not only for the family and guests who drop by during Diwali, but also are distributed to the near and dear ones.














Finally, with Dhanteras the daily evening ritual of decorating the house with earthen oil lamps starts which continues for few days after Diwali as well. The whole atmosphere smells great and provides a enlightening feeling.


On the day of Diwali, it is usually very hectic with purchases for the evening prayer, last minute preparations for food & decorations and then getting dressed up in all splendour to welcome Maa Lakshmi to home with open doors, heart and mind.
