My hand has beautiful cream called Heena. You can make any design you want on your hands and legs. You need to keep the cream in the fridge. You make your design on paper first than transfer it onto your hand. Next, wait for two hours for it to dry. When it is dry, peel it off - now look at your hand. It is a wonderful orange colour. Well done!!! Diwali is a 'celebration of the lights.' It is an Indian festival and is special to my family and I.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Diwali, also known as Deepavali (literally “a row of lamps”), is perhaps the most important and ancient of the Indian festivals.
Diya (or deepa or divaa) are typically made from clayIt is also known as “The Festival of Lights”, and families light small oil lamps (diyas) and candles around the home and set off firecrackers and fireworks.
Traditionally, Diwali is celebrated for five days, and takes place at the new moon on 15th day of the Hindu month of Kartik or Karthika (October/November). This is at the beginning of the winter season and is called the “darkest night of the year”, so lamps are lit to brighten this moonless night.
