Yesterday marked the start of the celebration of Diwali, mostly well known for being the festival of light. The festival is celebrated over five days to respect the goddess of wealth Lakshmi, where small oil lamps (Diya's) are lighted and placed in their windows to help Lakshmi into there home. Every year across the world people celebrate Diwali in many different ways by praying, decorating their homes with lamps and lights, exchanging gifts and sweets and taking the streets to join celebrations with fireworks and dancing.
