Hello @impersonal, I hope you are doing well.

You have shared a popular festival of India that is Diwali. Its interesting to learn about the facts and traditions behind this festival. It is the celebration of victory over evil and the celebration of prosperity.

During this festival, people light up diyas, decorate home with rangoli, and exchange gifts and sweets. It is really a good festival because it brings people together.

However, the worry part is fireworks that can scare the animals. And if they are carried out in place where there are no animals or birds that it will make this festival more perfect.

Overall you have described the festival very well and I learned new facts about Diwali. Thank you for sharing it. I wish you best of luck for the contest :)
