22. Sample Paragraph: Diwali Festival
Sample: Diwali - The Festival of Lights
Diwali is one of the most important religious festivals in India. It is called the Festival of Lights and is celebrated in October or November every year. The festival lasts for five days.
Before Diwali, people clean and decorate their homes with oil lamps, candles, and colourful rangoli patterns. During the festival, families gather together and offer prayers to the goddess Lakshmi. Fireworks light up the night sky, and children love watching the bright colours. People also exchange gifts and sweets with their neighbours and friends.
The highlight of Diwali is the evening when thousands of lamps are lit, creating a magical atmosphere. Traditional Indian dishes like samosas and sweets called ladoo are prepared and shared.
In my opinion, Diwali is a beautiful festival that celebrates the victory of light over darkness and good over evil. The warm glow of lamps and the joyful spirit of sharing make it a truly special occasion.
