I take this opportunity to wish all my friends and family to wish them a happy and safe deepavali the festival of light and happiness. This is a festival which is celebrated by all no matter which ever religion they follow. Everyone get together and celebrate it as a single caste that is human.

That is from a city called Mangalore which is located in southern part of Karnataka.Its celebrated all three days with equal importance. First one is called the naraka chathurdashi.On this day we get up early in the morning .Everybody take a oil bath ,from head to toe people smear oil,then light some patakas, light up some diyas, them take a hot water bath,pray to god then start their day with lots of sweet and savory dishes.
