A specified street or a specified area is declared before these festivals and then all the people gather on the specified street or the specified place with all or wearing all the traditional clothes and with their bikes and with proper or traditional things. And then the way celebrated like different music, get played, people dance on the music and many things people buy sweets and they distribute sweets among themselves. And it took place because the Hindu god which is known as Ramji he came to his house after 14 years of one was that is 14 years of staying in the jungle because he promised his brother he will stay 14 years outside so he celebrate his returns into his house after 14 years.

The special event which I will speak about today is Diwali Paha. This is a festival that usually happens in the streets. A specified street or area is declared before the festival, and then all the people gather in that designated place, wearing traditional clothes and bringing their bikes and traditional items. The celebration includes different music being played, people dancing to the music, and many people buying sweets to distribute among themselves. It takes place because the Hindu god known as Ramji returned to his home after 14 years in exile, as he promised his brother he would stay in the jungle for that duration. So, we celebrate his return to his home after 14 years. What we do is attend this Diwali Paha, which happens mostly in the morning until late afternoon. After that, we return home, change our clothes, make rangoli designs, dress up properly, take photos, and perform poojas. It is the biggest festival of the year and is celebrated all over India with lights. Diwali Paha is also known as the Festival of Lights, and this event is a festival in itself. It gathers many people from all areas; they take photos, friends meet, families reunite, and they celebrate together, which is very enjoyable. This event is special for me personally because it is like a small get-together among families and friends, spreading happiness all over India, with firecrackers, bursting of sweets, and festivities happening throughout the country.
