Diwali

Diwali is celebrated mainly by Hindus to commemorate the return of Lord Rama to his kingdom after defeating the demon Ravana. It is known as the festival of lights, where people light candles and lanterns to welcome Lord Rama home, as the people of India lit lights to guide Rama and his wife Sita upon their return from exile. Hindus celebrate by decorating their homes with lights, buying new clothes, sharing sweets with family, and creating colorful Rangoli patterns on the floor.

So Rama saved Sita with the help of
Hanuman the monkey.

The people of India, where Rama lived,


lit lights to guide Rama and Sita home
and welcome them back.

Many people in India are Hindu, which is


why it is mainly a Hindu festival.
A Diwali greeting is:

Diwali ki Shubhkamnayein
( )

which means
Happy Diwali
Diwali is the festival of light, and to
celebrate this, Hindu people burn many small
candles in their homes.

Sometimes they arrange them in patterns.


Diwali is also very exciting because Hindu people buy new
clothes, clean their houses and share sweets with their
families.com
Colour is a very important way for Hindus to express
themselves in Diwali, and they make beautiful, coloured
lanterns which are hung up in the streets and outside
the houses.
Another way in which Hindus
celebrate Diwali is by creating
beautiful Rangoli patterns.

Does anyone know what a Rangoli


pattern is?
