Hi! My name’s Veena, and I live in India. I’m Hindu. My favorite festival is Diwali, which takes place in September. A “diwa” is a little lamp – and we light hundreds of them in our homes and streets. This festival is a time when we pray for wealth and happiness in the future. We usually buy new clothes and give each other presents. We also send Diwali cards and eat special spicy food and sweets.
