Weekly Photo Challenge: Light 2

Posted by Kamakshi on

Deepavali or Diwali, known as the “festival of lights”, is five-day festival celebrated by Hindus, Jains, and Sikhs, for a variety of reasons. Deepavali which literally translates to “row of lamps”, is celebrated on the no moons day by lighting small clay lamps (called diyas) filled with oil that signifies the triumph of good over evil.
