Diwali - Festival of lights

Everywhere across India people celebrate the festival of lights, Diwali. In this festival, people light Diyas, which are small clay pots with a candle. They also decorate their house and neighbourhood with colourful lights. Many families make a Rangoli outside their house. This is sort of a Mandala or a pattern made with flowers or colourful powder. One of the most fun parts of Diwali are the fireworks. Every minute you’ll see colourful crackers up high in the sky. Every Diwali, my family bring their friends home for a party. Diwali is a great time for you to connect with family and friends and have fun time:
