DIWALI- THE FESTIVAL OF LIGHTS
Diwali, the festival of lights, is the festival for which everyone waits eagerly. It is a very significant festival for the people of India and across the world. Everyone becomes very happy on the occasion of this festival and celebrates with lots of preparations. Diwali is a five days long festival that starts from Dhanteras and ends at Bhai dooj.
Personally, Diwali is one of my favorite occasions when it is the period to forget every quandary and to celebrate. Diwali has been celebrated since Lord Ram returned to his place, Ayodhya. Presently, people start cleaning their houses a few days before Diwali such as whitewashing, dusting, painting, etc. Houses get decorated using real or artificial flowers and other decorative materials. My school and classroom were exquisitely decorated. Students became an enthusiast and brought various materials to illuminate the class as best as they could. Getting impressed by our work, vice-principal esteemed our class. The school was refurbished by the art and craft department. It was like decorating one's house.
Being the carnival of lights, Diwali is celebrated by bursting crackers. This is one of the mistakes done by humankind. Exploding crackers creates bulky air pollution which in turn affects our lungs. The extensive use of crackers has been deteriorating our health for a long time. Now, it is time to understand that one should avoid the use of crackers and celebrate eco-friendly Diwali. It would be difficult for one or two years to resist.
So, this time let's celebrate a very safe and eco-friendly Diwali!
