Yesterday was the first day of Diwali, the Festival of Lights. It's the biggest festival in India, and is celebrated by Hindus, Jains, and Sikhs. Everyone is wearing new clothes, setting off fireworks, creating rangoli (sandpainting on the ground) and consuming overwhelming amounts of delicious homemade (and super unhealthy) snacks and sweets... India at its best (and most chaotic)!
Wishing you all a very happy Diwali :)
