Its called " Thalai diwali" coz its our first diwali after the wedding .
The exact day of the festival is decided by the position of the moon. According to the Hindu calendar, Amavasai or 'no moon day' is considered as the perfect day to celebrate Diwali.This dark night comes after every fortnight and in the month of Kartikai, it marks this festival of lights and diyas. The festival is reckoned with Lord Rama's victory as the King of Ayodhya after his return to the kingdom from 14 years of exile along with his wife Sita & brother Laxman after killing the demon, King Ravana. The festival is celebrated by lighting diyas and candles to drive away the darkness of Amavasai.
I didnt get the feel of diwali in Phoenix like the way i used to in India but then didnt want to make it even more boring so i decided to make some sweets for diwali and morevover my mom told me she got us plenty of clothes and will send it through my cousin finally i had something to look forward to . On the day of diwali we woke up at 4 30 in the morning and we took ganga snanam and wore our new clothes , did some pooja and then Ashok gave me this Spa coupon for diwali which i didnt ecpect at all . The diwali which i thought would be boring was spiced up by loved ones :) Thanks ma , Thank you daddy , Thanks bubu ( thats how I call them!)
