Aarthi Anand from Chennai and Rama Ananth from Bengaluru have sent in some stunning images of their Deepawali celebrations.

Aarthi Anand is a blogger and her Diwalis are always traditional.

Says Aarthi,” Tamilians celebrate Diwali early in the morning, after the ritualistic oil massage-bath, after which we wear new clothes and burst crackers. As always we pay respect to elders and God before eating.”
