BG, 2 days before Diwali, my sis and me

आपूर्यमाणमचलप्रतिष्ठं
समुद्रमाप: प्रविशन्ति यद्वत् |
तद्वत्कामा यं प्रविशन्ति सर्वे
स शान्तिमाप्नोति न कामकामी || 70||
BG 2.70: Just as the ocean remains undisturbed by the incessant flow of waters from rivers merging into it, likewise the sage who is unmoved despite the flow of desirable objects all around him attains peace, and not the person who strives to satisfy desires.

DIWALI


Diwali is festival of lights ....decorative lights hang in households in urban areas.while in rural areas mostly diyaas(oil lamps burn bright, colourful  rangoli patterns adorn the entrances to households and mithai(dessert) is consumed in abundance.


The mythology, customs and celebrations about diwali is well explained in Wikipedia 
Diwali (Divali/Deepavali) – the festival of lights is one of the biggest festivals in India – celebrated across the country by Hindus. While being almost universally celebrated across the country – every region and community brings its own flavor to the celebrations. It is the time when India is at its festive best – decorative lights hang in households and commercial spaces alike. Diyas (oil lamps in earthen lamps) burn bright, colorful rangoli patterns adorn the entrances to households and mithai (dessert) is consumed in abundance.
