Deepavali celebration is going on. Today is second day of Deepavali. Hindu's celebrate this by performing Laxmi pooja(worshipping Laxmi- the Goddess of Prosperity) The other tradition like lighting the lamps and bursting crackers are going on.
Deepavali means row of Deepa ( lamps). In all the houses lamps are lit. It is wonderful and colorful to see the view. I have collection of different types of lamps. In some places there are exhibition of different kinds of lamps(Deepa). I also prefer to gift Deepas(lamps) to my friends and loved ones. This year also continued the same tradition. I had some terracotta lamps with peacock design , which I had bought last year. Decided to paint these lamps and gift those to my friends.
Here is the terracotta lamp:
As a first step, painted it with primer.
Painted with different colors:
And shaded with copper color. Here is the painted lamp:
For Deepavali, what else can be better gift than a hand painted Deepa(lamp) ? :)
Happy and safe Deepavali.
