Some celebrate Diwali at home. There are many who run away
from cities worrying blocked roads, traffic and crackers. This Diwali is
strategically placed just before the weekend this year. If you haven’t already
planned it, here are a few quick suggestions. Places to visit during Diwali:
The Golden Temple with a golden draping of lights is a sight
worthy of watching. If you are a DSLR junky, then this is the place to be. The
edge of the lake is fringed with countless oil lamps, lit by devotees and the
reflection of the lake, looks like the gods are reciprocating.
A similar sight will be seen in the city pegged as one of
the most spiritual places on earth... Varanasi. You will see the bank of
the holy river ganga light up with a million oil lamps, each oil lamp
representing the belief of a soul.
If you love merging celebrations & temples, then you
should definitely visit Kolkata. Kali Puja, which is mandatory sight during
Diwali, makes one witness with huge false gates being lit up with LED lights.
If you wish to see the gates of heavy (an artist’s rendition) while you are
alive, then Kolkata is the place to be.
The Pink City loses its association with one color and takes
a multi-color avatar during Diwali. The Hawa Mahal turns into a bright color
pack in the night of Diwali.
And this is the last place that you would guess. Go Goa
now... Be in Goa to witness the biggest and the scariest effigy of the
demon Narakasura as they burn it at dawn.
