    My dear Meenu !

    I am very happy that you find this week's post delightful.
    I love the scene of rows of lamps kept in front of houses, those 2 days. That has a serene, divine beauty, which electric lights can never provide !
    Thanks for your FB.
    Happy karthikai !
    Love & regards,
    Chithra.

    Nice to hear from you, Laxmi !

    This year Annamalai deepam is on 3rd, sunday & Shivalaya deepam is on 4th monday. Different families go by the different days. I personally light on both the days + 5 th as well ( we call it kuppai karthikai, when specially a light is
    kept in the backyard without fail ! )
    Happy kathikai !
    Love & regards,
    Chithra.

    Hello Kanaka !

    Welcome to the beautiful I L Home ! It is likely, that you will also get addicted to this site, as much as we are !
    You are right, it is customary to buy 2 new lamps every year; even earthenware akals are good enough.
    It is nice to receive your first F B, in my forum, Kanaka. Please stay tuned !
    Happy Karthikai !
    Love & regards,
    chithra.

    Excellant !

    Dear Chith,
    U have given a beautiful discription of 'KARTHIGAI DEEPAM' and the 'THAATHPARIYAM' of the festival as well ! If one could eradicate the 3 things u 've mentioned , he or she is supposed to be a 'gnaani' ! Let's all try our level best to attain that level . ' Kaarthigai deepam' picture gives a divine look to ur post ! Excellant !
    ADVANCE KAARTHIGAI VAAZHTHTHUKKAL 2 U CHITH !
    Love ,
    Indhu .

    My dearest Indhu !

    I am thrilled that you are visiting my forum.
    I am more thrilled that you have given importance to the last part of my post.
    We may not reach that level in this janma - but we can have that as our goal !
    Thankyou for your colourful KAARTHIGAI VAAZHTHTHUKKAL.
    Happy Karthikai to you, too.
    Love & regards,
    Chith.
