Original – A young woman lighting a diyo while surrounded by electric lights on the third day of Tihar. During the third day of the festival, Lakshmi, the patron goddess of the festival, is welcomed into homes that have been cleaned; diyos are put up all around the home, especially in doorways and windowsills, while electric lights are draped over houses in the belief that the goddess will not visit dark homes.

Reason

High technical quality; illustrates several traditions of the third day of the festivities and the Nepalese Lakshmi Puja. Featured on Commons
