Diwali - Festival of Lights

On Diwali day many people celebrate the festival of lights. Diwali is to celebrate the return of Rama and Sita from the ten headed demand, with the help of the King Monkey.
We celebrate Diwali by wearing traditional, colourful clothes and visiting our friends and family during the day. In the evening the whole family gets together and we go to the temple to pay our respects. Afterwards we all go back home and have a special meal. Then we all go into the garden and finish of the day by watching lovely colourful and sparkling fireworks lit by our dads and uncles, while the children filled with excitement watch with joy.
