Diwali is my favourite festival. It is a festival of lights and joy. Houses, shops and all other buildings are decorated with the lamps at night.

Almost everyone in India celebrates this festival. The people whitewash and paint their homes before 1 U'opawali.

They wear new clothes and buy new utensils. Children are thrilled with lights, crackers and sweets. They wear new clothes, sing and dance and enjoy sweets and leasts. The homes are lighted and decorated and people exchange sweets and gifts.

 The people go to the temples and worship Laxmi, the Goddess of wealth. New accounts are opened. On this day God Rama returned after killing the demon king Havana and was coronated as the king of Ayodhya.

Also on this day Lord Krishna killed the Nakrasura. On this day, the Jaina Lord Mahavira achieved Nirvana. Diwali is indeed a beautiful festival which brings light and joy in all the homes and hearts.
