Visiting the temple street in one of the oldest parts of Dubai is always a pleasure. The little shops lining the narrow lanes sell everything you need for #Dhanteras and #Diwali pujas- everything except crackers (which is such a blessing - no noise and air pollution here.) pic.twitter.com/qFI3nDM5Io
