Started about thirty years ago, the Blind Relief Association Diwali Mela (Diwali Fair - Diwali is a major festival in India; it is a Festival of Lights) is popular for hand-painted diyas (earthen lamps in which vegetable oil and wicks are used to light up a flame), colorful candles, and artifacts made by the visually challenged. The Diwali Fair is on from 26th October to 1st November 2013. Colorful flower vases, artificial flowers, handicrafts, artificial jewelry, home decor, Chinese toys, Feng Shui items, this Diwali Mela has a lot to offer. This Fair is being held on the grounds of The Blind School near Oberoi Hotel in New Delhi. It raises funds for the Blind Relief Association.
