Happy Diwali!

This five-day festival symbolizes the victory of light over darkness, knowledge over ignorance, and good over evil. It is a time for cleaning, decorating, and lighting homes with diyas (oil lamps) to welcome prosperity and dispel negativity.

For those not familiar with #Hindu mythology, the provenance of above is actually an ode to #Lakshmi, who is the #GoddessOfProsperity.

More fully, it is “Uma Rama Brahmani, Tum #Kamala Rani…,” where #KamalaDevi is synonymous not just with Lakshmi #Devi, but also with other names of #Durga.

Just like #GreekMythology has different gods and goddesses for different aspects of life, so does #HinduMythology with one difference — ALL #female goddesses eventually merge with Durga.

That morning I caught some really warm sun rays at Prasat Kravan.

This five tower temple was built at the same time as the pyramid at Koh Ker, and gives a glimpse into the earliest city and capital sites of the Khmer Empire.
