Did you know it is Diwali? Diwali is an Indian festival, the festival of lights. People put special lamps around their houses. They call it a dia. People also do fireworks and eat Indian sweets ( people pray to Indian gods too!) The celebration is based on a story and Diwali marks when God Ram returned to his kingdom and sat on the throne of a city called Ayodhya. People clean their houses believing Goddess Laxmi will vist their house.
We wish you a happy Diwali!
