It's Diwali in Robins Classroom!

Diwali, or Dipawali, or "Festival of lights" 

is India's biggest and most important holiday of the year. The festival gets its name from the row (avali) of clay lamps (or deepa) that Indians light outside their home  to signify the triumph of good over evil.  

Children and parents in their finery..
