Enjoying Divali During our outing to the festival of light we enjoyed entertainment in the temple by elaborately dressed dancers and drummers. Our meal that night was roti bread, breadfruit, mango, channa (chick pea and curry potatoes) and pumpkin all served up on a large leaf (no dishes to wash tonight). We strolled through the candle-lit and lighted streets amidst fireworks going off around us. Many residents were handing out bags of home-made sweets to those who passed by. We found the celebration contained many aspects similar to our Christmas (the lights), 24th of May (the fireworks) as well as Halloween (handing out of treats to those who pass by). One local professed to us that this celebration was the Hindu's Christmas. It was certainly a unique experience for us and we were very thankful to have to opportunity to take part.
