Deepavali - Diya contest

Updates : We won $50 NTUC voucher. So $10 each.. Jadilah. Rezeki. Alhamdulilah.

As part of SQ effort for team bonding, they organised Diya colouring contest.


Diyadivaadeepadeepam, or deepak is an oil lamp usually made from clay, with a cottonwick dipped in ghee or vegetable oils.
Clay diyas are often used temporarily as lighting for special occasions, while diyas made of brassare permanent fixtures in homes and temples. Diyas are native to India, and are often used inHinduSikhJain and Zoroastrian religious festivals such as Diwali or the Kushti ceremony. A similar lamp called a butter lamp is used in Tibetan Buddhist offerings as well. - from Wiki

I urged the ladies in my team to join... just for fun

Our effort. Very childish, no skill at all. Only Yoge one look nice.
