The Diwali Dhamaka is bang on! Sameera and Ashish based in Houston Texas share their Diwali moments with us. The entire house was lit up lights, lamps and diyas. The rangolis, flowers and sweets add divinity to the festive charm. Hmm, I’ll stop here and let the pictures do the talking. Thanks for sharing your special moments with us, Sameera.

Hi,
I am a regular reader, but delurking for the first time. I love your blog & keep checking everyday for updates 🙂
Sameera & Ashish's Diwali decor is georgeous! Can't wait for the home tour! A question for Sameera. Do the tealights lanterns made of brown bags have additional support? I always wanted to do that but was not sure if it is safe.
Akhila, The bags, called luminaria, are used in our part of the world mostly in Hispanic Catholic culture. The bags have intricate cutouts that reminded me of the clay lanterns I have seen in India. I fill the bags with a little sand to cover just the bottom then stick in a tea light. Those nifty LED tea lights that flicker like real candles do the trick too, without the risk of burning anything.
Thanks everone for your kind comments.
