We present to you some vibrant pictures captured by UT Photo Journalist Ayush Devpura of Diwali celebrations. The photos are self described displaying the pleasure of the festival and customs attached to it.

From the clay pot maker, making diyas on its round wheel to women preparing for Roop Chaudas, with this series we have tried to cover every moment of Diwali and before Diwali events like Dhanteras and Roop Chaudas.

We named this post PART-1 because we will publish another part in next 12 hours with more happening photos of the celebration.

Have a safe and blessed Diwali!
