Deepavali

The children at the hostel celebrated Deepavali a few days ago. Joji tells me "It is a hindu feast where the people take head bath, wear good clothes and lit lights around the houses and celebrate the feast with fireworks. We bought many crackers and children enjoyed very much. These are the photos shot in the evening at 7 -00. They also ate the raw sugar cane which is our tradition."

This picture shows the hostel children with a collection of firecrackers. If you'd like to see what they got up to, check out some more photos which Joji has posted HERE
