Diwali

I have been learning about Diwali and this is what it is.


Diwali is the Indian festival of light and is held in late October to early November. The festival lasts for five days. On the first day of the festival a rangoli pattern is made out of coloured powder and put by the front door to welcome visitors.

On the second day Alisha made some sweet called barfi for family and friends.

On the third day the family lights divas (lamps) and fireworks.

On the fourth day it's New Years Day and Alisha has been given  a new sari  by her Grandmother and then will dance and sing at a concert.

On the last day it's Bhai Beej, a special day for brothers and sisters. Then a New Year begins.
