Travel Diary Page #80 An Unknown Festival of Light

in #exxp3 years ago


Diwali is one of the biggest festivals of lights in India. But, then there are these small festivals that are regional mostly based on a state-wise calendar. I think it was one of those festivals today, which neither me nor my Kannadiga friend knows about.

It was a surprise to see the lights and fireworks on streets today evening.

It is a usual sight to see the patterns drawn with the flour every morning. But, today was a special day I guess. They were colourful and surrounded by many "diya"s.

The homely feeling diya gives is something irreplaceable with modern lighting.

Wish you, all who are reading this a great day, filled with light and love and the colours of an unknown festival.
