Although Diwali has passed just now, but i still like it soo much that i want it to come every month, i like those crackers that go straight high in the air, and burst out to show wonderful colors, they are just awesome.

Diwali is my Favorite festival and let me tell you about the history of this festival .
Diwali falls on the one new moon night (Amavasya) between mid-October and mid-November. This year it was on 26 October 2011. Diwali is celebrated for five days according to the lunisolar Hindu Calendar. It begins in late Ashvin (between September and October) and ends in early Kartika (between October and November). The days in Ashvin are in the Krishna Paksha ("dark fortnight") of that month, while the days in Kartik are in its Shukla Paksha ("bright fortnight"). The first day is Dhan Teras. The last day is Yama Dvitiya, which signifies the second day of the light half of Kartika. Each day of Diwali marks one celebration of the six principal stories associated with the festival.Hindus have several significant events associated with Diwali.The return of Rama after 14 years of Vanvas (banishment). To welcome his return, diyas (ghee lamps) were lit in rows of 20.

Let me tell you about this festival The name "Diwali" is a contraction of "Deepavali" , which translates into "row of lamps". Diwali involves the lighting of small clay lamps filled with oil to signify the triumph of good over evil. These lamps are kept on during the night and one's house is cleaned, both done in order to make the goddess Lakshmi feel welcome. Firecrackers are burst in order to drive away evil spirits.During Diwali, all the celebrants wear new clothes and share sweets and snacks with family members and friends.
