I took this at Swayambhu Mahachaitya (also called the "Monkey Temple") in Kathmandu. Believed to date back to 460 A.D., it was built by King Manadeva, and by the 13th century, it had become an important center of Buddhism.

Diwali is in full swing on the streets of Kathmandu tonight.

Mostly it's a very gentle vibe, with ornate artworks of flower petals and coloured dye decorating the streets outside shops and homes. Plus the burning lamps in tiny clay pots.

The sound of fire crackers go off every so often. But the locals are walking the streets and just enjoying the festival of lights.
