Explanation:
My dear Mary,
I was glad to read your letter a few days ago, but as I was busy with Diwali celebrations in the family, I could not write to you earlier than this.
Diwali is a religious festival in my country. It is celebrated more for religious purposes than for amusement and excitement. However, quite a few people who celebrate Diwali haven’t the faintest: idea of what it is all about. They just go in for entertainment.
This festival is celebrated with lamps, candles, and fireworks. It is an occasion of great beauty, and lamps, candles and crackers are to be seen everywhere. Toy sky rockets are fired and most of the houses are decorated with blinking neon lights.
The elders of the family perform Pujas. The Lakshmi puja is performed on a grand scale. Especially the business community carries out this puja with pomp and show. All the accounts for the year are settled and the new accounts are opened on the New Year. Gifts are given to Brahmins and alms to the poor. Friends and relatives are invited to lunch or dinner, and the exchange of gifts is made.
Please convey my regards to your parents. Hoping to see you soon in our midst, I am,
Yours sincerely,
