Deepawali is my second graetest festival celebrated by almost all of the Hindus in the world. It is also called "Tihar" in my home country. Generally, it last for 5 days. We worshipp crow,dog,cow,ox and our brothers and sisters in each of the days. Goddess Laxmi, The goddess of wealth is maily worshipped and various rituals are performed. We light our house with candles, electric blubs and with the diyos( small candles made out of clay).
People buy new jweleries, furnitures,silver and gold believing that this will bring then good luck in this occasion. We even make a special kind of bread and sweets for this occasion. Mostly children play "deusi and bhailo" (they sing songs about the festivals and they would get money,bread and sweets).
We even light fire and crackes by our own self at each of the homes. People clean each and every corner of their home and decorated with special kind of marigold flowers.At the last day of this festival, we worshipp our brothers and pray for their long and healthy life. This helps to make their relationship even more stronger.
