Speck's First Diwali

Diwali, also called Deepavali (Sanskrit: दीपावली) is a major Hindu festival. Known as the "Festival of Lights," it symbolises the victory of good over evil, and lamps are lit as a sign of celebration and hope for mankind. Celebrations focus on lights and lamps, particularly traditional diyas. Fireworks are associated with the festival in many regions of India.

Speck had her first diwali on October 21st, 2006. We attempted a trip to the Hindu temple in Houston, TX with Grandma Nargis.
