Celebration

Indian Festival Diwali (sparkler firework and candle)

Diwali is one of my favourite festivals, and I enjoy celebrating it every year. It is known as the Festival of Lights, and it brings a lot of joy and positive energy to everyone’s home. Before Diwali, my family and I clean the house and decorate it with colourful rangoli and bright lights. On Diwali, we wear new clothes and visit the temple to pray for peace, health and happiness. In the evening, we do diyas around the house, which makes everything look warm and beautiful. We also enjoy delicious food and sweets, which are prepared specially for this festival. Spending time with family and friends on Diwali makes the celebration even more meaningful. Children are always excited because they get gifts and sometimes small fireworks. For me, Diwali is not only a festival but also a reminder of hope, new beginnings, and the victory of light over darkness. This festival always brings happiness to my heart, and I look forward to it every year.
