Deepavali 2014

The Hindu festival of Deepavali in Malaysia is held on 22 Oct 2014. The rest of the world seems to celebrate Diwali on 23 Oct. I don't know why Malaysia is different. Diwali is also known as the Festival of Lights, to celebrate when Rama returned to his people after 14 years in exile. It marks the beginning of the Hindu new year. The Islamic new year is 2 day later, on 25 Oct.

These are the kolam decorations in Mid Valley and The Gardens in KL. They are made of colored powder, rice, or sand, and decorate the entrance of a home (shopping centre) as a greeting.
