Festivities Everywhere

The festival season has arrived and Delhi is all decked up. First, it was Durga Puja which is a big festival in many parts of India. In Delhi also, there are beautiful pandals set up with huge idols of Godess Durga and many cultural events take place. In our apartments also, they celebrated it for about 10 days and there were all kinds of events for kids. In between there was Eid also which was also great fun because there were some really nice cultural events in our apartments.

Also coinciding with Durga Puja was Navratris, and Ramlila culminating into Vijayadashmi (also known as Dusshera). During Ramilila, the story of Ramayana is enacted dramatically at many places and i really enjoyed seeing Lord Rama, Sita and Hanuman. I, in fact bought Hanuman's "gada" :)
