Diwali – Past and Present and for the Future….
A Happy peaceful Diwali to all from our over-crowded Hindu universe – Lakshmi for prosperity, Ganesha for wisdom, Krishna for joy and the Sindhi Jhule Lal for getting the boat to shore! The silver Lakshmi is from my dad’s collection; the Gold Lakshmi in an ancient frame is at least 80 years old and from the Melwani clan as is the Jhule Lal image from pre-partition! The little Krishna was given to me by an older sister. The apples and banans are from America’s bounty. The little diya was carted back from India! They all combine to make each Diwali meaningful.
