Yesterday was a Hindu holiday called Dussehra. Everyone was off work and there were lots of celebrations and firecrackers. In a nutshell, Dusshera is the celebration of Lord Rama's return from his 14 year exile and his victory over the demon-king, Ravana. Over time, it has become more of a celebration of the triumph of good over evil. (You can get more info at this link: http://festivals.iloveindia.com/dussehra/dussehra-legends.html)
On Dussehra, Hindus perform a puja on their vehicles, homes and businesses to bless them and keep them from evil.
