Diwali



Diwali is my favorite festival. On this day Lord Ram returned to Ayodhya after killing Ravana. It is a festival of light. People decorate their houses. Shopkeepers start new ledger from this day. Goddess Lakshmi is worshippedin the evening. People distribute sweets and gifts among friends and relatives. There is a practice f exploding crackers at night which is not good for health and environment. We must avoid crackers. I enjoy Diwali very much.
