Diwali sounds like a really fun event and I would really want to experience it. I looked into Diwali a little more and I found out that the lamps are called diyas. I also learned that they celebrate with lots of food and tons of sweets! I didn't know that it was celebrated in October and November so I'm glad that you added that in there. Diwali sounds like Thanksgiving, Valentines Day, and The 4th of July all rolled into five days. Would you like to experience the celebration of Diwali?
