Diwali, the Festival of Lights, is my favourite festival. Celebrated in India and across the world, Diwali is a five-day celebration that symbolizes the victory of good over evil and light over darkness. With traditional attire, exchanging sweets and gifts, and colorful lights and decorations, Diwali brings people together in a time of joy, togetherness, and renewal.
My favourite festival is Diwali, the Festival of Lights. It is celebrated in India and across the world by millions of people of Indian origin.
Diwali is celebrated in the Hindu month of Kartik, which falls in October or November. The festival is a five-day celebration that symbolizes the victory of good over evil and light over darkness.
On the first day of Diwali, people clean their homes and offices to welcome the goddess of wealth, Lakshmi, who is believed to visit during the festival. The second day is celebrated as Naraka Chaturdashi, the day Lord Krishna defeated the demon Narakasura. On the third day, the main Diwali festival is celebrated by lighting diyas (oil lamps), setting off fireworks, and offering prayers to the gods. The fourth day is dedicated to Govardhan Puja, which marks the day Lord Krishna lifted the Govardhan mountain to protect the people from a storm. The final day is celebrated as Bhai Dooj, a day to honor the bond between brothers and sisters.
I love Diwali because it brings my family and friends together. We all get dressed up in traditional attire and visit each other’s homes, exchanging sweets and gifts. The streets are adorned with colorful lights and decorations, and the air is filled with the sound of firecrackers and the smell of sweets being made in every household.
In conclusion, Diwali is my favourite festival as it is a time of joy, togetherness, and renewal. The celebration of good over evil and light over darkness is a reminder of the importance of positive values in our lives. It is a time to celebrate the blessings we have and to be grateful for the love and support of our family and friends.
