My Favorite Festival – Diwali
Diwali is one of the biggest festivals in India. It is also known as the Festival of Lights. Every year, we celebrate Diwali with great joy and excitement. This festival usually falls in October or November.
During Diwali, people decorate their homes with colorful lights and diyas. Diyas are small oil lamps that create a warm glow. Everyone buys new clothes and prepares delicious sweets. Sweets like ladoos and gulab jamun are favorites among children.
On the night of Diwali, we worship Goddess Lakshmi, the goddess of wealth and prosperity. Families pray for happiness and success in the coming year. After the prayers, the real fun begins! We burst crackers and enjoy fireworks lighting up the night sky. The sound of the firecrackers brings joy to everyone.
In my neighborhood, we organize a small gathering. Everyone comes together to share sweets and celebrate. We exchange gifts too, which is a lovely part of the festival. The spirit of togetherness is strong during Diwali.
Sometimes, we also take part in Diwali melas, which are fairs with games, rides, and lots of food. The sights and sounds are amazing!
Overall, Diwali is my favorite festival because it brings happiness, lights up the sky, and creates beautiful memories with family and friends. I look forward to celebrating it every year!
