Supermarket Find


By PreeOccupied (Visit website)



I was pleasantly surprised and almost beaming from ear to ear when I found these in a leading Canadian supermarket here in TO.

IMG_2329 I am talking about the clay diyas. The symbol of Diwali. The epitome of grace.

I brought back a couple of boxes of them CAD 2.99 each. IMG_2330 We Bengalis light 14 clay lamps (chhoddo pradip) the evening before Diwali to offer our gratitude to our forefathers. Its a tradition my Mum has been following, and now I am starting to do so. Though its very difficult to remember or know the names of our ancestors.

On Diwali, we Indians go full throttle with all kinds of decorative candles and diya. Call it coincidence or planned connivance, but I even made a couple of hand pinched diyas last week in my Pottery Class!

IMG_2331 Enjoy your Diwali shopping and buy lots of Diyas, they are forever to stay in your hearts and cameras.
