Deepavali or Diwali
Deepavali is the festival of lights. The chief feature in the celebration
of this festival, is that all bathe early in the morning rubbing their
head and body with oil, though an oil bath is prohibited on the new-moon
day on which the festival generally, falls. After bath they take sweets
and enjoy themselves. The children fire off crackers. All this is done
as a thanks offering for ridding the world of the oppression of the Naraka
by the god Krishna.
