Diwali Rangoli

Description

According to Wikipedia:

Diwali is the Hindu festival of lights with its variations also celebrated in other Indian religions. It symbolises the spiritual “victory of light over darkness, good over evil, and knowledge over ignorance”. Diwali is celebrated during the Hindu lunisolar months of Ashvin (according to the amanta tradition) and Kartika—between around mid-September and mid-November. The celebrations generally last five or six days.

Many of our Indian friends have been celebrating for a week or two now. There are lights everywhere and fireworks filling the air with smoke. A common tradition is to make elaborate mandalas called Rangoli out of either flower petals, or seeds, or variously colored rock dusts.
