This is a five day festival that ends with the festival of Lights ( on Tuesday) Each day something else is honored First day ravens, second day dogs... today was cows, then comes self, and finally the big day - brothers' Huge parties and visiting family, lots of lights were put up today and everyone was out making mandala in front of their gates to invite the goddess of wealth into their houses. I was at a friend.s house for dinner and the walk back was bright and festive. Lots of people on the streets... a bit like Christmas and New Years rolled into one. Here are some of the photos I've taken over the holidays. There are lights, candles, caroling, firecrackers, and lots of decorations.
