Decorated

We arrived in time for Diwali, a 5-day festival that rings in the Hindu New Year.

People were decorating their homes, shops and even vehicles for the upcoming celebration.

When I complimented the chauffeur on his “beautiful bus,” he grinned.

“I decorated it in honor of the Goddess Lakshmi. She presides not just over money, but also over the wealth of the heart, friendship, and family,” replied the driver.
