Mention One Event which Makes Your Home Town Special!
Our home towns are very close to our hearts & we know there is no other place like it. Being bloggers let us sell our home towns to our freinds here as tourist destinations. Tell us about one event which is held annually in your home town which no other place does better.
Somebody described Jaipur as a city of festivals but Jaipur's Diwali is very special. Here Diwali is not a one or two day affair or some days of no office.The event starts with the Navratras & the staging of Ramlila and Ravan Dahan on Vijaydushmi, karwachauth & culminates with Bhai Dooj. All days are celebrated with great enthusiasm. For Diwali itself the whole city is bathed in colourful decorative lights & tons of sweets and crackers are sold. Brisk business is seen on all shops. Newspapers are full of advertisments showcasing various wares. Not to be left behind the Clubs of the city also hold functions on all special days. Life might take the sons & daughters of Jaipur to far flung corners of the world but they try to get back to their home town for diwali. If for some reason they can not make it they celebrate Diwali with great enthusiasm where ever they might be because getting Jaipur out of ones system is pretty much impossible.
