Diwali

Diwali is a major hindu festival also called the festival of lights. In the legend, the people of Ayodhya welcomed Ram by lighting rows of lamps, where the lights or lamps signify victory of good over the evil within an individual. On the day of Diwali, many wear new clothes and share sweets and snacks as well as light fireworks. Some North Indian business communities start their financial year on Diwali and new account books are opened on this day.Diwali also celebrates the return of lord Ram, King of ayodhya, with his wife sita after a 14 year exile, and a war in which he killed the evil and demonic king raven. It is believed that the people of Ayodhya lit ghee lamps along the way to light their path in the darkness.
I went to Dr. Dilpreet one of the dentist at the hospitals house to celebrate with her family. I had so much fun and it was fascinating to learn about the festival. We lit clay made lamps and placed them around the outside of the house as well as under every faucet. Around 7 pm people start lighting firecrackers and they dont stop untill after 12 its crazy i have seen nothing like it before you look around on the roof and you see firworks all aroud you 360 degrees its amazing. I enjoyed the festival. i got to light the fireworks myself becase back at home its illegal to light them yourself so this was the first time i could it was a blast. I even burnt my hand while lighting them i guess it is somthing you have to go through.
