These are clay idols of Laxmi - the Goddess of Wealth taken during my recent visit to Pune. They are not factory made but are done by hand by individuals. Entire streets are lined with bright flowers in orange, red, white. The fragrance of jasmine garlands is in the air as people get busy shopping for their favourite festival - Diwali.
