Happy D I W A L I

Tomorrow is Diwali! You're all wondering what is Diwali uh! They celebrate Diwali like the festival of lights where the lights or lamps signify the uplighting of darkness and victory of good over the evil within.

The day also commemorated the homecoming of King Rama of Ayodhya, after a 14-year exile in the forest, and thus the people of Ayodhya (the capital of his kingdom) welcomed him back by lighting up rows of lamps (deepa-wali), thus its name, Deepawali, or simply shortened as Divali.
Basically, the celebrations focus on lights and lamps, particularly traditional dīpa or deeya (earthen lamp), and fireworks.

For my self, I will catch a flight tomorrow to go to GOA!! Some pics and a new post about this trip next week!

HAPPY DIWALI!!
