Dear friends,
Happy Diwali to all; hope you all are enjoying very well. Due to this pandemic we all are not able to enjoy the festival like every year. Hope next year we will again able to enjoy like the same way. As you know friends, behind every tradition lies a story; in this case, every culture has a different one. While legends may differ, the messages conveyed are aligned.
In northern India:- Diwali is celebrated in the memory of the day when Lord Rama returned to his people in Ayodhya after 14 years in exile, during which he rescued Sita from King Ravana in an epic battle detailed in the Ramayana.
In the south:- Diwali is popularly linked to a story about the Hindu god Krishna, a different incarnation of Vishnu, in which he frees some 16,000 women from another evil king.
In the western state of Gujarat:- The New Year coincides with Diwali and, Diwali is associated with asking the goddess Lakshmi for prosperity in the coming year. During the festival, many celebrants exchange gifts and coins.
In Buddhism, Jainism, and Sikhism:- Diwali to mark important events in their histories, too.
Today I captured few pictures from the roof of my building.
Just want to request you all please don't spread noise polution and do take care of animals like street dogs and nature.
