Thank you for your patience while we retrieve your images.
The last day of Diwali 2012 was held on a Saturday at the temple in Jacksonville. Diwali is a 5 day celebration and the most important one - it is New Years - it means Festival of Lights.

A recently completed meeting hall was used for the mountain of food and other exhibitions. In addition the life of the great Swaminarayan was re-enacted by a number of children and adults in several other buildings beginning when he was 4 months old and was given the choice of being a rich man, a warrior or a scholar. He chose scholar of course.
Swaminarayan began a 7 year, 7000 mile journey on foot around India when he was 7 years old. He wore the clothes on his back, was barefoot and had only two possessions during this time. There is a lot more information here if you'd like it.

The images here are down loadable at no cost - if you need help in doing so there are help files at the top of the site under information.

Basically you BUY the images and I sell them to you for no cost to trick the system. I hope that you enjoy them. If I can help with other occasions I would like to do so. Please do ask me.

If there are corrections with my story above please do not hesitate to call me or write me with them - errors are mine dear reader and no offense is intended.

Thank you to the presenters for speaking in English to me on the first time around the journey! It was very kind of you to do so.
