A very happy Deepavali (Diwali) to everyone here! Deepavali is the festival of lights and is the biggest festival for the Hindus in India and elsewhere. It is the one festival that *everyone (the celebrations transcend religious diversities) is counting down to and it is a time of much gaiety and revelry. Every house is lit up with either small oil lamps or the electric ones and the noise and smell of fireworks fills the air. Am posting a link below which has more information.......
