Happy Diwali to my friends that celebrate this holiday! This Hindu festival of lights is marked by the lighting of small clay lamps filled with oil to celebrate the triumph of good over evil. It is a communal time of family and sharing of good food and fun.My colleague and I happen to be in Mumbai at this time and aren’t sure what to do. We hope to stumble on some Diwali lights and observe some wonderful things in the city (hopefully places will be open!) Suggestions are welcome of course.
While I don’t celebrate Diwali, I can appreciate a time for family and fun. It will be good to get back home this weekend!
yay diwali! i first heard about it from a “the office” episode but it sounds like a wonderful celebration and anything that is communal time for family is good in my book 🙂
sooo pretty!
I would like to experience this celebration! Must be amazing!!
Post more photos please! :))

How beautiful is that!! Enjoy your time in Mumbai!!
When i was still in Bangkok working as a Maths teacher in an Indian international school, the girls and the female teachers would come to school with hands and arms painted. I think it always happen on Diwali´s fetivities, no?

I hope you stumble upon some fun festivities! My husband’s father is from Mumbai, and his mother is from a city called Pune, also in the state of Maharastra. Have a wonderful time, and safe travels back home 🙂

Oh, how pretty!!! In grade school, my best friend was Hindu, so I had the chance to learn all about this celebration.
