✤ why do you like to celebrate it?

• I like to attend many events such as weddings and festivals.
• Here I would like to talk about our national festival Diwali,which I celebrate every year with my family and friends.
• The whole month before Diwali,we are busy in the cleaning of our home.
• We buy gifts to give to our friends and relatives.
• We also buy crackers to burn on that day.But this year we said a big no to crackers,because of the rising pollution.
• On the actual day of diwali,we all family members go to the gurdwara to pay obeisance to the almighty and seek his blessings.
• After that we go to some friends and relatives homes to present them the gifts we have bought for them.
• Then we come home and decorate our home with candles and divas.
• This time my father also got some electric lights fitted in our home.
• My mother cooks special dishes for us and we enjoy dinner.
• We also turn on all the lights of our house and leave all the doors open because it is believed that Goddess Laxmi visits the homes on that day.
• After that we go to our terrace and fire the crackers,which we didn’t do this year.
• We just looked around and saw the crackers fired by others.
• We could see our neighbors were firing crackers.
• I felt very good as I enjoyed all that very much.
• You know mam/Sir,Diwali holds a special significance for us.
• It is celebrated because on this day Lord Rama returned from Ayodhya after 14 years of exile.
• It is also celebrated because the sixth Guru,Guru Hargobindji was set free from Gwalior Jail with 52 kings.
• On this day,the arrogant tyrant Bali was killed by lord Vishnu.
• So this is a traditional celebration,which all Indians celebrate with great pomp and show.
