Diwali is cultural festivals for indians and people who celebrate it (But mostly indians). We celebrate it by doing fireworks, playing with sparklers and lighting up diyas. Diyas are small cup-shaped oil lamp made of baked clay. Diwali is all about going to peoples houses and offering them some sweets and fruit. You will have to be prepared because people will be coming to your house and doing that to. Diwali is a festival of light. It has been celebrated by Hindus for genarations. We celebrate because it is a victory over evil. We pray to god. We were new clothes and reunited with other families to celebrate the new year for us Indians. It is particularly associated with Lakshmi, the godness of posperity, amd marks the beginning of the financial year in India. HAPPY DIWALI!!!
Hi Rahi,
ReplyDeleteHow interesting! Even though many learners have been writing about Diwali I learned something new from your post- that Diyas are a type of lamp. I can't wait to see the Identity Day outfits tomorrow at school:) I wonder what you will wear?
