Lighting up the earthen lamps
illuminates the houses
enhanced to rust and red in color
Along the windowsills and balconies
the lamps lit on Karthigai Deepam
host a grand reception to bewitch
The brass lamps hold to the halls
embraces any festivals of sort
as auspicious to enhance and behold
Footnote:
The photo was taken last year by me on the occasion of Karthigai Deepam, which is a festival celebrated in the month of November-December on the full moon and alike Deepavali, Karthigai Deepam is also called as Festival of Lights.
