An Indian Summer: Happy Diwali!

Tuesday, October 20

Happy Diwali!

Hello! How have you been?

I have been busy with Diwali festivities and a wedding in the family

Hope you all had an awesome Diwali

And celebrated the festival of lights

By lighting a diya or two

I will now catch up with you next week. Leaving you with some glimpses of the Diwali decor at home this year...

(all pics taken by me @ home)

[Blogger gave the option of posting extra large pics as I uploaded the pics, so trying that out. Let me know if it messes up the blog formatting/user interface for you...will get back to regular sized pics]

Bhavna said...: Thanks Patricia! Hope you had a great Diwali too :). I picked up the madhubani from delhi haat..

Thanks Sunita! I use diwali time as an excuse to completely go overboard with bling ;-)

Ah, thanks Srivats! Yes, our home is very close to my heart :); 23 October, 2009 9:23 AM
Bhavna said...: Thats quite a compliment Alexia! Thank you :D

Thanks for the invite Ash. I feasted my eyes on the diwali delicacies you have put up on your blog :)

Thanks Sharon! The rug is a kashmiri rug - made of satin/silk. It was just about the right size to cover my living room's center table - added the dash of color in diwali decor. :); 23 October, 2009 9:27 AM
Bhavna said...: Hey, welcome Rosa! Keep dropping by :)

Lovely decorations Lakshmi! I loved the rangoli :)

Thanks Banu! I had that feeling about the pics too...hence asked the question :)
The diya wall hanging is of the bastar iron craft variety. I bought it from the Crafts Museum (in pragati maidan - delhi); 23 October, 2009 9:32 AM
