Diwali, is the Hindu festival held in the last days of the dark quarter of the moon in October or November. It marks the beginning of the business year,and so is to the Hindus what the Christmas and New Year holidays are to the English people. Shop keepers and traders close their accounts for the year and open new accounts for the new year. All the houses are cleaned and decorated, and at night both houses and streets are lit up with many lights.
Diwali lasts for four days. which are spend for rejoicing, and devoted also to the worship of certain Hindu gods. At night,fire-works are left off, and all the houses are lit up with thousands of charaghs, or small earthern lamps that makes streets almost as bright as day.The spirit of the festival is one of quiet joy and good resolutions for the New Year...
