Diwali without fireworks? nahh…

Give them a taste of how India celebrates her festivals!!! Light ‘em up

Thanks, glad you liked it.
Pijush:
Thanks!
you have a Vaishnodevi Temple in Canada?
Prerna:
Yes! We do, and a pretty nice one actually. There are many niche temples (dedicated to particular deity) and also some supermarket temples (having all the known deities)
