Dear Pen friend,
In this letter, I want to tell you about the recent festival which I've celebrated in my village. The festival is Diwali which is also known as the festival of lights. Diwali is also known as the festival of lights which is celebrated after Dussehra. It is said that Lord Rama returned to his native place Ayodhya after an exile of fourteen years and in order to celebrate his return the people lighted diyas in their houses. People celebrate the festival by cleaning and decorating their houses, wearing new clothes and by lighting diyas and candles. Different types of sweets are prepared and are given to friends and relatives. To celebrate Diwali, this year we planned to visit our village and celebrate the festival with our relatives. We were very happy to visit the place and meet the cousins. On the day of Diwali, the house was decorated with the flowers and leaves of the mango tree. They used all the organic things to decorate and celebrate the festival. Homemade sweets were made and many other dishes were also prepared. Instead of bursting crackers we played games among ourselves and sang songs. In this way, we celebrated the festival at our village.
For now, I’m ending the letter. Will talk about it more in another letter. Take care of yourself.
Your loving penfriend

Dear Wincey
I hope this letter finds all of you in good health.
We are all fie here.
In your previous letter you wanted to know about my cultural festival.
Here I am going to tell you about a very unique festival called Bihu.
Bihu is the chief festival in the state of Assam.
It refers to a set of three different festivals: Rongali or Bohag Bihu observed in April, Kongali or Kati Bihu observed in October and Bhogali or Magh Bihu observed in January. Bihu is associated with agriculture and rice in particular.
Bohag Bihu is a sowing festival; Kati Bihu is associated with crop protection and worship of plants, while Magh Bihu is a harvest festival. Rongali or Bohag Bihu which takes place for four days is celebrated by Assamese people with feasts, music and dancing.
Bihu is a secular festival that is celebrated by people from all parts of the state irrespective of caste creed or religion.
It is a traditional festival where people cook traditional foods, pithas, various rice items and also wear traditional clothes.
Hence the entire festival is secular in nature and is deeply connected with agriculture.
Give my regards to Uncle and Aunty and please do reply me as soon as you get my letter
Yours loving friend
Shreya
