I cannot beleive myself that I was able to create one of my dreams Aaakash Kandil [ Sky -Lantern]. Yes this is a practise in Maharashtra. During dewali almost all houses have this lantern.This is one of the decorative lamps that are hung with a help of a string to a pole or stick. This is placed in the front door of the house or verandah. Since people are staying in apartments - it is hung on the balcony. Hence let us share the spirit of light among ourselves. HAPPY DIWALI
This kandil consists of 12 parts which has been stitched/attatched together. Tutorial will follow

I love the idea of Diwali and am so glad to learn of this tradition! It's so satisfying to be able to make something you really want, with your own hands. Happy Diwali to you!
