A Hindu festival: Diwali
The festival of Diwali is one of the most important religious festivals in India. It lasts for five
days around the end of October. It is the festival of Lakshmi, the Goddess who, in the Hindu
religion, brings peace and prosperity.
Preparations for the festival begin several weeks before the festival. People clean and
decorate their homes, prepare special food and buy new clothes and jewelry to welcome
the Goddess in their homes.
All over India, people light up their homes with oil lamps and colorful lights.
The celebrations take place on the darkest night of the lunar month, Amavasya. In the
evening, fireworks fill the sky to make Diwali a true 'Festival of Light'.
