at any time of year a visitor to india can be overwhelmed by its beauty and color
but a visitor in late fall is especially fortunate the temperature will have cooled
down the monsoons will have not yet begun and diwali the festival of lights is at hand
diwali is to many indians what christmas is to christians
in essence it commemorates the victory of the forces of light over the forces of darkness
to experience it fully get up before dawn and head for the flower markets
here flower vendors work feverishly to create garlands of fragrant jasmine
that indians will use to adorn their homes by dawn they'll be sold out
wow next that's a good thing because it supports the local
markets it's supposed uh it supports the local workers so that's very nice gets sold out
head for one of the temples but go early later on in the day they'll be packed
on your way over you may see a curious sight people hunched in front of their doorways
pouring colored sand on the ground the sand takes the shape of a lotus blossom a symbol of welcome
and today millions of symbols of welcome will grace the nation's doorways
wow so it's a very colorful day indeed diwali is all about sharing if you're staying in a
private home don't be surprised if the neighbors show up with plates of delicious holiday treats
i wonder if somebody's going to knock at my door because i i i know that um in my
building we have some um indians that would be a surprise if somebody comes knocking at my door
oh if they do i'm gonna bring them in and make a video with them but i don't know them um i don't
i don't know them i have i don't know my neighbors that's the life in london we
don't know our neighbors but i'll let you know if something happens if somebody knocks at my door
it's also customary for families to go to the temples together on this day
they often dress in fine new outfits purchased especially for diwali
oh that's nice and if their outfits inspire you head for a sari shop
shops are open on diwali and indian silks are justifiably famous for their beauty
they're just one of the ways india spruces up and gets into the holiday spirit
so this is an occasion for all of us to rejoice and be with the family and
enjoy all the good things in life i've seen the silk in the shops um there were a few not this
house but in my previous house there were many shops um on the street and i used to go in and
there would be these amazing silk um you know when my my wife was looking for a dress um we would see
these these dresses as well um of course we were not looking for um traditional indian clothing but
they have that as well and it's amazing amazing material we buy good clothes and make good food
and everywhere there are lights if you head to major commercial districts throughout india
you'll find colorful displays comparable to christmas lights in western cities
there is no darkness on this day
white uh light winds
some cities also put on spectacular public displays of fireworks like this one in delhi
oh wow but no matter where you are there are smaller more intimate fireworks displays
a long day of celebrations is coming to an end and it's going out with a fan
