Kolkata | The Festival of Light

Beautiful net sari

Lengha-type sari

At Rangoli: saris for days.


We went to Sejuti's boutique/workshop to check out her collection

Nikku: My first time French braiding anyone's hair!!!

India's classic car: The Ambassador

Playtime with a sleepy Monk!


The Grand Finale: This one was supposed to have 50 fireworks in one. Only 20 or so actually went off. So after the parents went to bed after a long Diwali, we kids decided to set the thing on fire -- best/worst decision ever. Fireworks shot out in every direction; one nearly missed my leg. So. Much. Fun.



Anaar made at the Dave factory!

Every house on the block had pretty lights for Diwali

Nutella & Friends in India: We kicked the moms out of the kitchen and made a midnight snack :)

I wouldn't be able to drive this truck with all the decorations

Dudes just hanging out on the corner

Diwali mehndi

Balu's beautiful rangoli at the house entrance
