Oh well, I like different types of festivals, such as Mahaged, Seethiar, etc. But my favorite festival is Seethiar because it is a light festival. I celebrate it in my hometown. The festival is in my hometown, especially in the morning. We have tea, coffee, and a lot of sweets. Then we have lunch. In the evening, we love a lot of lights and candles. So it is the most important event for me.
