We have many festivals. Among them, Tihar or Diwali is one of them as the Hindus are rich in
festivals and rituals. Tihar falls after Dashain in the end of October. During this festival, birds and animals are worshipped. It is the festival of lights and flowers too. Everything is cleaned properly.
‘Diwali’ is also called Tihar. It is known as Bhaitika in some places. Thus the terms Diwali, Tihar and bhaitika refer to the same festival. This festival is generally celebrated for five days, so it is said Yampanchak. During this festival some animals, birds, gods and goddesses are worshipped. On the first day, crows are worshipped by offering foods to them. On the second day, dogs are worshipped. Similarly, we worship cows on the
third day. On the second or third day, Goddess Laxmi is worshipped. She is believed to be the goddess of wealth. People worship the oxen
on the fourth day. Furthermore, 'self' is also worshipped on this day. It is known as Mha Pooja. The fifth day is called 'Bhaitika’ On this day, sisters offer Tika, variously-coloured marks, on the foreheads of the brothers. They also offer the garlands of flowers on the neck of the brothers. The brothers are also provided with sweets, fruits, and other special food items. In return, brothers offer Tika, gifts and money to their sisters. They enjoy delicious foods sitting together. Before the sisters worship their brothers, they worship 'Yamraj, the Lord king of death. It is believedthat the life span of the brothers gets lengthened when they worship the lord king of death.

Diwali : The Festival of Lights
Diwali is a festival of Hindus. Not only Hindus but people of other religions and countries also celebrate Diwali. It is commonly known as "Deepawli" because "Deep" means lamp and "Awli" means line .
Hence it is known as festival of lights. Diwali is being celebrated from a very long time. Well I am not sure but according to Hindu Puranas it is celebrated Because on this day Shri Ramchandra Ji returned Ayodhya from his exile of 14 years. So for welcoming him the people of his kingdom enlighten the lamps.
From that time it is being celebrated every year. Well Diwali is a peaceful festival. It is very amazing festival. But nowadays people changed this holy festival into a gambling festival. People do gambling on this day . This is wrong we must stop it .
And as we know on this day we all do prayer to the goddess of wealth Laxmi. Children wear New clothes.They celebrate it with great pomp and show. And people celebrate it with crackers. It is harmful for our environment. That is why government banned crackers but again people put a petition and the timing is given 8-10 pm. In my point of view it is wrong the crackers must be banned.
Well this is to say that it is a holy festival we must celebrate it with pure heart. We should not do anything which affects the environment.
