Happy Dashera

Today is one of the most important days in India. From Wikepedia - The Festival of Dashera concludes the festival of Navaratri, and the holy day also commemorates the triumph of good over evil.. Dasha-hara in sanskrit means the "remover of bad fate". Forms of celebrations can take on a wide variety of manifestations, ranging from worshipping the goddess Chamundeshwari (Durga) to exhibiting colorful toys on the day of bombe habba in Karnataka.

THere are fireworks and festivals going on around the city. Even my little neighborhood of 6 apartment buildings build 3 idols and blew them up with firecrackers and fireworks.
