Answer:
The festival which I love to celebrate is Eid-Ul-Fitr. It is one of the greatest Islamic festivals celebrated worldwide. It is celebrated after one month of fasting period called Ramadan. On the last day of the month, the festival is celebrated after sighting the crescent moon. People offer prayers in the mosques and hug each other wishing Eid Mubarak. Everybody is very much excited about this festival. They wear new dresses; exchange gifts and different kind of dishes are prepared. People visit their friend’s houses to meet and wish them.
I am fond of this festival and love to eat the sweet dish prepared specially on this occasion called sewai. I visit my friend's house to enjoy this day with her. Every year she serves me different types of snacks and food items.
Answer:
Diwali
My favourite festival
My favorite holiday is Diwali or Deepavali. It is also called “The Festival of Lights.” It is celebrated in October or November by Hindus in India and the Indian Diaspora. It originated more than 2,500 years ago.
Multiple stories are linked to this celebration. One story from northern India tells the story about the great King Rama, one of the avatars of the Hindu god Vishnu. According to the Ramayana, an ancient epic, Rama returned to his kingdom after fourteen years of exile, and defeating the evil demon Ravana, who kidnapped his wife, Sita. On his arrival to Ayodhya, his kingdom, people welcomed him by lighting lamps called diyas. A popular story from southern India is about the Hindu god Krishna, saving sixteen-thousand women from Narakasura, an evil king. In both stories, it is a victory of good over evil. Diwali is also a celebration of goddess Lakshmi.
