Diwali with the Pollys

Tonight we attended the India Association of Topeka's Diwali celebration. Roughly translated as the Festival of Lights, Diwali is a national holiday in India that celebrates good over evil. We saw beautiful and colorful saris and learned that women drape them differently depending upon their region in India. We also saw detailed tiny rock art (my term) adorned with candles.
The Topeka version included lots of dancing ...
and dinner that we shared with the Pollys.
It was an interesting and culturally enriching Sunday night.
