Description
Diwali is one of the most important festivals as part of the Hindu religion. As part of the festival, it has become custom to light lamps (over the ages, this has been oil lamps and now lamps / electrical lighting fixtures) around and outside the home or office establishment. As part of the mythology surrounding the festival, it celebrates the return of Lord Rama from his 14 year exile, after defeating the demon king Ravan. Diwali also marks the end of the harvest season and also invoking the blessings of the Goddess Lakshmi (Goddess of wealth) and inviting her into the home, symbolizing the prayers for inviting more wealth into the house.
This photo shows a fire cracker during the Diwali celebrations. These are the round ones that you keep on the ground, light off the top with an open flame, and the powder inside ignite and gives out a large number of sparks with some speed. Great to watch, but need to have some caution while lighting, and does cause smoke pollution. The photo shows the emission of a large number of sparks from the firecracker.
