No festival or celebration is complete without sweets. Diwali has its own range of specialities. They are first offered to the goddess Lakshmi in a puja ceremony and them eaten with friends and family. Sweets, dry fruit and chocolates are given to friends and colleagues as gifts. Corporate houses and wealthy people give away more expensive gifts.
Puffed rice or layee - lava with sugar sweets in the shape of animals are a part of the puja ceremony and eaten afterwards.
I entered an up market sweet shop to take pictures, but I felt obliged to buy something there , so the photos ended up being quite costly. I didn 't buy any sweets , just a packed snack.
