Diwali is a religious festival known too as the festival of Light. It is celebrated in India once a year and it is used as the beginning of the year for hindu people. During Diwali, people dress new clothes, share sweets and watch fireworks. It is a very happy night.
Diwali is celebrated in October or November and light is very important in this festival. Houses are cleaned in a special manner and they are decorated with candles. The tradition says that God will favour those people who give their enemies another opportunity to be friends again.
At night they light the candles and open the Doors of the house repeating a pray every time.
There is also the tradition of throwing a ship made of paper or little candles to a river, so if they go far, it means that the following year will be very happy.
