Diwali celebration at home 

Sweet "Gujiya"

It’s that time of the year again

Dust laden corners

Are dusted and brushed

Empty cans find new entrants

Kitchen emits aromatic fragrance

Mommies prepare delicacies

Crunchy crispy sweets

Fills little tummies

Floors sparkle with mirror like shine

Elegant ‘Rangoli‘ adorns the corners

Scented candle illuminates the space

Marigold and mango leaves unite

Ornamenting the entrances

Tingling Bangles shimmering dresses

Henna beautifies the palm

Elated faces greet each other

It’s that time of the year again

When temples chime with

Tingling bells and

Reverberates sacred hymns

Welcoming the deities

Goddess Laxmi and Lord Ganesha

Marking the Beginning of a

New Year… Blessings!!!
