Deepavali is one of the most joyful festivals celebrated in India.We decorate our houses with lamps,lantern and decorative lights.It is believed that the darkness in life will vanish in the light of these lamps.
This year Deepavali was more special to us because it is our baby’s first Deepavali.I was so excited for our lil girl that I wanted to make it as special as possible.We made it a point to celebrate as traditionally as possible with some extra traditions of our own. Started off our day by everyone having a body oiling session followed by a hot bath,then wore new clothes,prayed to God.Also prepared south Indian delicacies for breakfast and lunch with yummy dessert.
Lamps in front of the main door.
Goodudeepa(lantern) we bought this year.
Since it was baby’s 1st Deepavali , we visited our neighbours with sweets to share the happiness.
Later that evening we visited a temple nearby our house and offered the prayers.Back home,we took couple of minutes to enjoy the beauty of the lamps that we lit in our balcony.
Its always fun when its festival time,so was this for us!!
