The First Day of Deepavali
On the first
day of Deepavali, the Hindus wear new clothes, such as saris for the females
and kurta for the males.
They eat
delicious food for Deepavali, such as muruku and laddu.
For
Deepavali, they use colourful uncooked rice to draw the kolam. It is beautiful flower
patterns drawn on the floor, usually at the doorway.
They also
visit their grandparents to give them well wishes like good health and
prosperity.
