Diwali

So last month we celebrated Dassera and Diwali!! Two beautiful festivals.

Dassera/Navratri is a festival that is celebrated across India in various forms. In Gujarat there is the Dandia fest, in Bengal they have Durga Pooja while in the northern states they perform Ramleelas. We Kannadigas have our own way of celebrating the festival. Known as "Bambe Habba" or the festival of Dolls, we deck up our houses and create a display of dolls!!

This year we dint do anything elobrate for the dispaly ( Though I wanted to do lots, mom put her foot down.) But the main dolls which represent Adam and Eve were beautifully dressed up ( thanks to grandma :) ) .

Diwali is the festival of lights!! More about the festival here.

Hoping that everyone had a great festive season!
