2. Which is your favourite festival? Write two paragraphs about your favourite festival. Each paragraph should have a minimum of four sentences. Make sure you follow all the rules about sentences and paragraphs you have learnt. 

Ans:  One of my favourite festivals is Diwali, also known as the Festival of Lights, celebrated by millions of Hindus, Sikhs, Jains, and Buddhists worldwide. Diwali typically falls in October or November, marking the triumph of light over darkness and good over evil. The festival spans over five days, with each day carrying its own significance and traditions. Homes and streets are adorned with colourful rangoli patterns, diyas (oil lamps), and strings of lights, creating a mesmerising atmosphere of festivity and joy. Families come together to exchange gifts, share sweets, and offer prayers to deities such as Lakshmi, the goddess of wealth and prosperity. Fireworks light up the night sky, symbolising the victory of light over darkness and bringing communities together in celebration.

Another aspect of Diwali that I cherish is the sense of renewal and cleansing it brings. Before the festival, homes are thoroughly cleaned and decorated to welcome the goddess Lakshmi, who is believed to bring wealth and good fortune. This tradition symbolises the removal of negativity and the welcoming of positivity into one’s life. Additionally, Diwali is a time for reconciliation and forgiveness, as people seek to mend broken relationships and start afresh. The spirit of unity and togetherness is palpable during Diwali, as neighbours exchange sweets, families gather for feasts, and communities come together for prayers and celebrations. Overall, Diwali holds a special place in my heart for its vibrant festivities, cultural significance, and the values of light, love, and prosperity it embodies.
