Last week we were very lucky and had a visitor to share their knowledge of Diwali with us.
Diwali is the Indian New Year celebration. This is the festival of light and is celebrated on the darkest night towards the end of October - start of November.
We learnt that when they celebrate Diwali they eat a lot of sweets. The celebration usually goes for 5 days and on the last day this is where the families celebrate wearing very special clothes and eat lots of food, a bit like our Christmas. Thank you Avi for sharing your knowledge with us!
