Yale's Diwali Celebration

Diwali, known as the Festival of Lights, was celebrated on November 13th in 2012.  This Indian festival is a 5 day long celebration that takes place all across the world.

I was thrilled when Debra Rohr from Yale University sent me this fabulous photo of the Hindu Student Council enjoying the festivities.  The University hosted its 8th Annual Diwali Celebration on their campus.  They had a beautiful prayer ceremony, followed by the students lighting their sparklers, then a traditional Indian dinner was served.

Debra and I talk each year around Diwali to ensure their Festival of Lights turns out incredible!  This year she decided to use our #20 Gold Diwali Sparklers so the students could enjoy the sparklers longer since it has a 2 minute burn time.

I always look forward to hearing from Debra and about their upcoming celebration.   Thank you Debra for sharing your Diwali picture and a special thank you to Harold Shapiro for allowing us to showcase his incredible work!
