In Ajmer's high‑security jail, inmates used limited resources to create a festive Diwali display, drawing Lakshmi on walls and crafting paper candles and colorful lamps.
In Ajmer’s high‑security jail, inmates celebrated Diwali by turning the cell blocks into a festive space despite scarce supplies. Using only paper, paint and basic tools, prisoners drew a detailed sketch of Goddess Lakshmi on a wall. Others fashioned large paper candles and bright colored lamps that hung from the ceilings. The decorations, though simple, lifted spirits and brought a sense of normalcy to the inmates. Authorities noted the event as a positive morale‑boosting initiative within the facility.
