About	As with other Indian festivals, Divali signifies many different things to people across the country. In north India, Deepavali Festival celebrates Rama's homecoming, that is his return to Ayodhya after the defeat of Ravana and his coronation as king; in Gujarat, the festival honors Lakshmi, the goddess of wealth; and in Bengal, it is associated with the goddess Kali. Everywhere, it signifies the renewal of life, and accordingly it is common to wear new clothes on the day of the festival; similarly, it heralds the approach of winter and the beginning of the sowing season.

Amazing...very amazing, even that shape at the center reminds also other simbols of the past (ONLY in Europe I mean of course...) Amazing the lighting conditions because of the exposure, the candles looks great!
Best regards my friend, be well!!!
