Hundreds turned out Saturday for the Diwali festival at the Fremont Hindu Temple, one of the most important Indian celebrations of the year. Donna — When Betty Finchum raised a fork amid a rainbow of glittering saris at Saturday evening’s Diwali festival, she had never before tasted Indian food. When Kalpana Murugan moved to Delaware from her native India, the Hindu Temple of Delaware in Hockessin was her first stop 10 years ago. Mumbai, India – President Barack Obama is showing a softer side of his agenda in India, chatting with high school students and reveling in the celebration of a major religious festival. Ona —  Come out and join the Tri-State India Association at 5:30 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 20 at Cabell Midland High School, as they celebrate the Diwali or the Festival of Lights, with a dinner, dance and music. Bishop Michael J. Bransfield says two Catholic high schools in the Northern Panhandle will remain open, but will collaborate and share resources. The burning of thousands of oil lamps during India’s Diwali festival celebrates the return of Lord Rama from his 14-year exile and the vanquishing of the demon king Ravanaand. The event begins at 5 p.m. Saturday in the Lyceum with a cultural show, skits and singing. Diwali (also spelled Dawali or Davali) or Deepavali [deep = "light of the dharma", avali = "a continuous line" ] is an Indian festival that signifies the light of knowledge over the darkness of ignorance, which is celebrated on the last day of the last month (kartika) of lunar calendar (falling on October 28th this year but is celebrated the two days prior and after this date). Donations were part of the second annual food drive run by a consortium of Indian groups in and around Naperville in honor of Diwali, the Hindu festival of lights. Diwali festival is a 5 day Hindu festival in India which occurs on the fifteenth day of Kartika.

The waning wax
Dhaka, Bangladesh, 2010.

Why do everything has to melt?

Fire melts wax.
Emotions melt the eyes.
Love melts the heart…

…And yes, global warming is melting all the ice out there.

Captured from Diwali, the festival of light of Hindu Community, from Ramna Kali Mandir, Dhaka.
