Deepavali is a major
festival for us, of course to many of our countrymen. The festival brings about
lot of excitement and happiness to our family. It is celebrated by following
many happy traditions. There is the tradition of Harathulu for which my
sister visits us to bless us, there is illumination of the house with oil and
electric lamps, there is the tradition of Bommala Koluvu (arranging
dolls in arrays over steps) and there is Goddess Lakshmi Puja and lots
of sweets and festive meals and bursting of crackers. This year’s festival was
all the more exciting and happy with a new family member – our ten month old
grandson. You can see these traditions and our happiness in the attached
pictures. I hope you and your family too had a wonderful and memorable
Deepavali.
