My odd fixation with earthen lamps, diyas, continues..
I guess I am on overdrive because today, Diwali ended :)
Hope the remaining year goes well too!
Seasons' greetings to everyone :)
I seriously had no clue what to do for this week for the "Life / Death, Entropy / Renewal". Going with my own theme "Light". I shot this one at Tawakkal Mastan Shah Dargah / Mosque in Cottonpet, Bangalore. This dargah / mosque has a very important place in the Bangalore Karaga Festival (to be held today April 24 2013).

It was kartik purnima yesterday. A full moon. The ancient shiva temple near my house at pune, India was illuminated with thousands of earthen lamps. On this day thousands of devotees throng here and they light their lamps all around the temple. It is a delight to see thousands of lamps lit. Kartik poornima falls in the month of November-december. This sacred day is also called the ‘dev deepawali’ or the deepawali of gods. At this day earthen lamps are lit to mark the destruction of the demon Tripura by god shiva and signifies the victory of goodness over evil.
An earthen lamp is the best example to human being to bring peace and prosperity on the Earth ,as it burns at it its max to glow the things on its top in a believe that some reflection will come back surely to illuminate its underneath.
