We came to India at a very good time, the weather was cool not hot. They say the good time to travel is November to February is the tourist season of India. We also came when it was Diwali. Diwali or Festival of lights. Diwali is like their Christmas and even New Year because they have lots of fireworks. They decorate their stores and streets with plenty lights and they give each other gifts. It’s a time for shopping – people spend and stores expect good sales because it is good luck 🙂 So aside from Namaste greetings, there was also Happy Diwali! 🙂
Raj told us that this store in Jaipur always wins first prize – when I saw it- it reminded me of COD department store in Cubao 🙂
They built this facade just for Diwali.
It’s a replica of the structure in the Amber Fort

Wheat is sign of good luck and wealth 🙂
