Prosperous and Happy Diwali

~*Happy Diwali*~
Diwali or Deepaawali means an Array of Lamps i.e .Rows of diyas (Deep = Lamp, Vali =Array). Of all the festivals celebrated in India, Diwali is by far the most glamorous and important.
Enthusiastically enjoyed by people of every religion, its magical and radiant touch creates an atmosphere of joy and festivity. As a family festival, it is celebrated 20 days after Dussehra, on the 13th day of the dark fortnight of the month of Ashwin (October / November).
It is a festival of lights symbolizing the victory of righteousness and the lifting of spiritual darkness. It celebrates the victory of good over evil - and the glory of light. This festival commemorates Lord Rama's return to his kingdom Ayodhya after completing his 14-year exile.
Homes are decorated, sweets are distributed by everyone and thousands of lamps lit to create a world of fantasy which is always a photographers delight.
This photograph was clicked last year diwali, this year too I am planning to capture the charm and charisma of diwali. Wishing you all a happy, prosperous and safe diwali. This post is linked to That's my world and ABC wednesday.

  6. Hey Nice shot. the hand adds the extra interesting element in the frame.

    One suggestion for the blog, please do not use red color for text against a dark grey background. Very difficult to read and often very offensive.
