Today was the third day of Diwali. In Nepal, the third day of Diwali is a day for people to celebrate another year past. Muni, Nani and I went to Muni’s mothers house for the celebration. Here are the some photos which I took.
The "carols" which I mentioned yesterday are called "deusi-bhailo" in Nepal, where children go from door to door asking for sweets and money. Some groups use the opportunity to show off musicianship.
Watching television is a traditional part of Diwali...for the kids at least.
His shirt said "Cheeky Monkey"; so all in all it was pretty accurate.

The power cut out mid-meal, so we dined while bathed in candle light.
We left while the lights were still out: candles lit on window sills, stars in the sky...
That’s all for now.
