The Himalayas - where earth meets sky
Indian Himalayas - Kinnaur

Deeval
This is celebrated at the same time as Diwali though it has little in common with the Diwali festival widely celebrated in other parts of India. All houses are cleaned and may be plastered with a mixture of mud and cowdung. On the four corners of the plastered portion is placed a mixture of chilgoza, roasted barley and wheat.
