	Diwali 2006
		Diwali is colloquially known as the "Festival of Lights", for the common practice is to light small oil lamps (called diyas) and place them around the home, in courtyards, verandahs, and gardens, as well as on roof-tops and outer walls.
		In urban areas, especially, candles are substituted for diyas; and among the nouveau riche, neon lights are made to substitute for candles.
		Everywhere, it signifies the renewal of life, and accordingly it is common to wear new clothes on the day of the festival; similarly, it heralds the approach of winter and the beginning of the planting season.

		Electrical diyas that are fitted with a small bulb and light up are also available, but none are as popular as the traditional diyas that are lit.
		You can either choose from the traditional round diya or pick some in an exotic shape like a lotus, a tulsi or a mandir and place them all in a decorative plate, also made of clay.
		There are some who like to colour the diyas in bright shades, but we like it when they are simply varnished and the natural colour is retained.
