Deshian what you did in Diwali?

I watched a movie named goalmal again in this diwali.

Oh 😆 usually I would have something nice to say but this year - there was a funeral in family so there was not much of get together as we usually do. However the Pooja and lighting diyas and shopping for sweets and snacks and new dress was fun.

Visited Shirdi Sai Baba mandir near our house.

Just before the weekend of Diwali 4 of us siblings had to attend a full weekend Yoga & Meditaion completion training program called "Inner Engineering" which Sadhguru Jaggi Vasudev came to teach us in person in our city so it was v exciting and once in a lifetime opportunity and experience for us.

Over there we did lot of shopping 😃 so many things and we earned a lot of things as well.
We nteracted with different ppl from different places.

ndian healthy recipes also we learned .

Wow Kerala really have a very rich cultural tradition. Having a festival that crossed religious lines and linked people closely with nature and traditions is truly amazing.

In West Bengal probably Bengali new year celebrated across them religious lines although it is not so much big compared to religious festivals.
