“I enjoyed the lights festival very much with my family members. Preparing and decorating Diyas made me feel very interested in this festival. Then, during Diwali celebration, we put oil in Diyas and we put them around the house and it was beautiful. We also made a gorgeous Rangoli in front of our house. Going around the city and seeing colorful lights in every house made me understand how much is this festival felt by people in India.”
