I love the first one the most. I have a similar hanging lamp in my home in Kerala. Lighting it in the evening and watching it glow is one of the highlights of the days I spent there.
Yes to everything.The lights make the world so beautiful.
Love the picts and the quotes..lovely lights..looks so festive already.
Oh yes, it’s the season of love and lights. Simply beautiful captures, Shalini!! And a fab take on the prompt!

Very festive setting in all the pictures Shalini. The view of the lights in the valley below is stunning to say the least. Here’s wishing your family a much loved and blessed festival of lights
This was such a lovely post to go through early in the morning. It has made me so happy!
This is the time of year when all my wallpapers either sport candles or fairy lights. Lovely post, quotes and images.
What lovely lights you have captured! Love your pensive Muffy. May there always be light in your life. And may you continue to get lighter 😉
Your house looks too beautiful all lighted up for the Diwali. Nice pictures.

I loved the photos, especially the one where an enlightened city as a backdrop against Muffy. Your home is beautiful and very similar to my childhood home in Sikkim. I love wood houses. These days all these houses are getting replaced by flats in the hilly cities. I miss them, therefore it felt good to see your home.
