How are you? I hope you are fine. Today, I want to tell you about my favourite festival, Diwali.

Diwali is the festival of lights. Before Diwali, we clean and decorate our house. We light diyas, make colourful rangoli designs, and wear new clothes.

I especially enjoy decorating the house with my family. Diwali teaches us that light triumphs over darkness and good triumphs over evil.
