Given the fact that India is a democratic country with people of many religions staying together, there is a string of festivals that follow one after the other. All year through.
October onwards, the number of festivals are the maximum. Be it Navratras, Dushera, Ramadan, Diwali, Eid, Guru Nanak Jayanti, Christmas... And more. Navratras just ended. Dushera was celebrated with much pomp. Karva chauth is round the corner. And so is Diwali. So much fun!
Diwali is a festival of lights in which the diyas are filled with oil/clarified butter and lighted. This signifies the triumph of good over evil. I am eagerly looking forward for Diwali this year because it'll be my first Diwali in my own home. Decorations, light, prayers...
