| Time for Diwali Gifts Shopping |
| 10.23.05 (8:32 pm) [edit] |

As it is time for Diwali Gifts shopping, one can find markets a buzz with activity. Shopkeepers are trying their very best to lure the customers with attractive schemes and discount. Roadside stalls selling diyas, candles and crackers are making a good business and giving the markets a colorful look. It's a fascinating experience and I am loving every bit of it.

Diwali crackers cause numerous accidents every year. Please take extra caution as Diwali Crackers are becoming more powerful with every passing year. Do not allow your little children to play with crackers without the presence of elders. Ensure that they are guarded always. Do not encourage the practise of playing crackers by gifting them as Diwali Gift. Diwali Crackers cause serious environment damage too.
Have a Safe and Joyous Diwali

| Sweet Gifts on Diwali |
| 09.25.05 (7:22 pm) [edit] |

Hi
It's Diwali time again and I am worried that my house will get stuffed with loads of Sweets. I know sweets are the traditional gifts on the occasion of Diwali but how much can one actually have in a week's time which is the maximum shelf life of sweets. My children are living in hostel and my husband has diabetes, so it is only poor me who is expected to consume about 10 kgs of sweets in a weeks time.. Pity me.
There are lots of Diwali Gifts other than sweets which are lying in the market and waiting to be presented. Friends please be a little innovative in your Diwali Gifts Ideas and spare trouble to numerous people like me who just hate overloading of sweets on Diwali.
Hope my advice will have some effect
Lots of Good Wishes On Diwali

| Prettiest Diwali Gift |
| 09.20.05 (8:28 pm) [edit] |
|
Anything gifted with love is always special. But last year I received the prettiest Diwali gift. My husband gifted me a diamond ring. I wished to have a ring since a long time but I did not expressed my desire as my husband was going thru a rough patch. But somehow he sensed my craving and presented me the prettiest ring on Diwali. He broke one fixed deposit for that. I fell in love with him all over again.

| Diwali Rangoli |
| 09.20.04 (4:56 am) [edit] |
Rangoli, also known as Alpana, Kolam and by other names is a traditional art of decorating courtyards and walls of Indian houses, places of worship and sometimes eating places as well. The powder of white stone, lime, rice flour and other paste is used to draw intricate and ritual designs.
Although Rangoli art is Maharashtrian in origin, it has become quite popular all over the country. Each state of India has its own way of painting Rangoli. One characteristic of Rangolis is that it is painted by commoners. On some special occasions like Dipavali it is painted in every home, with or without formal training in Rangoli art. The art is typically transferred from generation to generation and from friend to friend.
Traditionally Rangolis are painted or created out of colored sand/rice powder. A symmetrical pattern or picture of Gods, Goddess, Dancers, Diyas etc. is drawn and colored rice powder/sand is then layered on top to form a picture. A symmetrical rangoli pattern can be drawn on paper or card and then decorated by children with crumpled tissue paper.

| When is Diwali 2004? |
| 09.13.04 (4:52 am) [edit] |
Celebrate Diwali on 12th November, 2004
Diwali comes every year on the day (night) of New Moon (Amavasya) in the month Kartik (according to Hindu calendar, and approximately around Oct.-Nov) following the autumnal equinox. Diwali date (according to Hindu calendar) therefore does not fluctuate and is a one day affair, even though people in various parts of India may celebrate it differently (e.g. over several days).

| Diwali Festival In India |
| 09.01.04 (7:48 am) [edit] |
"Diwali", the festival of lights, illuminates the darkness of the New Year's moon, and strengthens our close friendships and knowledge, with a self-realization!
Diwali is celebrated on a nation-wide scale on Amavasya - the 15th day of the dark fortnight of the Hindu month of Ashwin, (October/November) every year. It symbolizes that age-old culture of India which teaches to vanquish ignorance that subdues humanity and to drive away darkness that engulfs the light of knowledge. Diwali, the festival of lights even to-day in this modern world projects the rich and glorious past of India.
