Diwali is very important to my family and me because it is a festival of lights. It is about celebrating King Rama's return to Ayodhya after he defeated Ravana. After that rows of clay lamps are lit up. In Southern India, they celebrate Lord Krishna who defeats Narakasura.
Here is how I celebrate at home.
1. We light up diyas which are clay lamps.
2. There are fireworks.
3. There are sweets like ladoo’s
4. There are heaps of lights some people decorate like this.
5. And when people see other people they say happy Diwali and exchange sweets.
Lots of other countries celebrate this too. This week, we have a display of books in the library for people to look at from our library collection about Diwali.
