Karthigai Deepam
Day before yesterday was the festival of Karthigai Deepam, celebrated amongst few communities of people in South India. Certain kinds of traditional sweets and snacks are made at home. All the traditional lamps are lit in the evening. And these lamps are kept all around the house. Kind of a fun deal for the kids too, and that is where my interest lies. :)
This setup that you see here is just before the lamps are taken out. I have some fun shots of the diff lamps too. For later. :)
