Diwali in Puttaparthi - 05 Nov 10

Barely a few days after our arrival in Parthi we celebrated Diwali, on 05 Nov 10. Sundarambal , Bhopal Patti's very dear friend went to the North Indian and South Indian Canteen in Prasanthi Nilayam and brought Coconut Burfi, Jalebis,Mysore pak and Laddus ! We all got up early in the morning ,got ready and wore our new clothes as is customary.I also strung our "ladis" ( serial lights) across the entrance.


In the night we had very few crackers but plenty of "Jameen Chakras" ,which performed well.
