Diwali is a Festival of Lights and where we put on henna to represent our culture and one of our gods have a chance to come and visit our houses.We buy our Indian costumes to where it on that day.Diwali gets celebrated by millions of people in the world.We also do fireworks on that day which also represents the Festival of Lights.
Before Diwali we have to clean our house including outside concreats and underneath the beds.So our houses are clean.We also make sweets and give th sweets out to others before or after Diwali.When it comes to Diwali we light lamps all around the house .
There are lots of thing we need before Diwali like water lilies for our God.Diwali is also about spending time with our families.
We also make something that is called a rangoli we put lots of patterns just like we put on henna.The only difference between rangoli and henna is that we don't put on henna paste we put on coloured powder to make it colourful and we put rangoli on the floor and the power is dry. We put flowers on the design.
The reason I like Diwali is because we get to make sweets and we get to put on henna.

ReplyDeleteNisita,
Thank you for sharing with us more about your culture. Diwali sounds very special. I love henna- I had it done all the time when I lived in the Middle East (but I hated the smell!). I hope you will wear some of your Diwali outfits on Friday's Identity Day.
