Diwali is a very special festival for the Hindus. People start the preparation a week before to celebrate Diwali. Houses, shops, streets are cleaned and diyas, candles or decorative lights are illuminated. Firecrackers are burst and children get lots of joy. People wear new clothes and distribute sweets on Diwali. Lord Ganesh and Devi Lakshmi are worshipped for prosperity and wealth.
