Festive spirit in the air as Deepavali celebrated in TN

Deepavali was celebrated across Tamil Nadu on Monday with fervour and gaiety.

The sounds of crackers rent the air as people enthusiastically burst fireworks.

In lines with a Supreme Court order, the Tamil Nadu government had specified that crackers should be burst from 6 am to 7 am and 7 pm to 8 pm.

Retailers reported brisk cracker sales earlier.

State Governor R N Ravi, leaders of various political parties including AIADMKs K Palaniswami and BJPs K Annamalai greeted people on the occasion.
