Diwali

Flickering lamps, a million tiny suns, piercing the velvet night. Crackling fireworks, bursts of gold and crimson, painting the air. Sweet-smelling incense, clouds of saffron and jasmine, whispering ancient prayers. Garlands of marigold, a vibrant embrace, around doorways, hearts. Stories of Rama, echoing through generations, light triumphing over shadow. Goddess Lakshmi, a golden presence, blessing homes with prosperity. Mahavira's Nirvana, a quiet meditation, seeking inner light. Guru Hargobind's release, a beacon of freedom, shining brightly. Ashoka's conversion, a vow to peace, found in every smile. Harvest's bounty, celebrated in shared feasts, a tapestry of unity. Diwali, a shimmering thread, weaving together cultures, through flickering lights, and joyful hearts.

Nice coverage of all the aspects of Diwali. It used to be fun to light many diyas in past, now I sit wit a few candles out in west. Wish you had happy Diwali.
