The Diwali Festival
From Wikipedia:
Diwali (also transcribed from Deepavali or Deepawali) is a Hindu religious festival known also as the festival of lights. During Diwali, celebrated once a year, people debut new clothes, share sweets and bursting firecrackers and fireworks. This festival celebrates the killing of the evil Narakasura, which makes Diwali a religious event that symbolizes the destruction of evil forces.
A holiday for a rest ... and "enjoy" the lunatics here dropping firecrackers left and right!

Be gone!
It was on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday!
In the northern part of India 100% of people stop here on the south side for only about 70%.
We only stopped on Monday!
Pala!
You're in India! What madness, you guys are adapting?
It is one of the places on my list that I have to visit, to working with tourism here in Australia and sent many people to all corners of this huge country! ~
Good luck to you guys.

Lino, has put a new post for you not to be nervous!
Aline, are right here, is VERY different from Brazil! I advise you not come to India do not, go to Singapore or Thailand! Yesterday and today terrorists are training in foreign shooting in Mumbai (formerly Bombay), others kidnapped several foreigners in hotels Taj and Oberoi (5 star), bombed in "strategic places" and so on.
But I advise you to come to India to meet the extreme of human misery, the northeastern backlands is close to that paradise here!
In the southern part of India is better, because the northern part is quite complicated.
If you do not convince you not to come ... I walk around while the tips here.
Capeta Sai! LOL
Ow ... the holiday falls that day (s)? It is a weekend or feriadinho?
Hugs!
