The buildings at Jaipur are decorated beautifully with various styles and kinds of lights. Although this year Vidhan sabha was not decorated at all. Last year it had looked beautiful! Birla Mandir was decorated in the same style that I've seen for the past 7 years.
We made some rangoli at the house like we do every year using rice powder and holi colours (gulal). Here are some pictures of them:
Although Anirudh was enjoying looking at the crackers being burst but he was hesitant to hold the phuljhari's himself. But once I held it with him, he started to enjoy it and then he didn't want to stop. So all the teachings from his school teacher that he had been saying over and over again since the past few days of "No crackers!" went down the drain! :)
Beautiful rangolis. Glad you all had a great time with family on Diwali - thats what festivals are all about.

Lovely pics, the rangoli is too good.
ReplyDeleteRangoli looks great! Next time include Anirudh too in the Rangoli making, maybe using poster colors. Speically since he loves to paint, I think he'll enjoy it.
