Thank you Nita for this detailed and interesting article about the background of the festival. I was in Kolkota many years ago and experienced this festival. The procession through the streets went on for hours and hours and hours. I too was terrified by the fireworks. The fuses seemed to be very short and every minute I expected somebody would get their fingers blown off.
Look after yourself. Thank you for your kind comment on my page.

A beautiful presentation Nita.
To bring such enlightening post for blogit members is to be doing a yeoman's service. The attraction of the festival is such that it is celebrated with equal verve and enthusiasm by all communities alike, bringing them together.

What a wonderful & informative article, Nita...
thank you for sharing with all of us. With your permission, I'd like to share this with all my friends, with due credit to you.
For a moment, I felt like I was re-living my childhood. Some of us rowdy boys from the neighborhood, myself included, who at other times would be playing cricket, or fighting in the streets, all bare feet, would on Diwali morning, which is today, bathe in fragrant waters, don nice clothes, and ride our bikes all day through all neighborhoods wishing people good luck, happiness & prosperity. I just wish that spirit continued throughout the year & throughout the world, may be one day :)!
Thank you so much for all the nice comments on my blog.
Happy Diwali to you & yours!

The firecrackers would drive me nuts! I like the tradition between brother and sister! I haven't tried to retrieve anything yet! I did go to the site and looked it over! I am up and running and so fearful of venturing out of my domain. I would cry if I got into trouble again. I am copying my poetry blog and putting my books back together to assess the damage! I will let you know if I can muster the nerve to attempt a retrieval. This was a very fascinating post! I have so appreciated getting to know more about India through you! Have a great weekend!

What an enlightening post!
A common thread throughout human spirtituality, and not just of the religious kind, is that reverence for light, for the flame of the single candle.
How fine if all life could be a festival of lights!
