Small Mandala

Tihar (Dipawali) is a second great festival of Hindu religion. People worship Laxmi (A Goddess of wealth ) in this festival. People attractively decorate their home, office, shop with colorful light and  flowers. Some of them they make Mandalas in front of their main gate to welcome Goddess of wealth, Laxmi.
