Recently, I 'have' the privilege to be the host for Deepavali. For those who don't even know what's deepavali, I will tell you. Deepavali is a festival for Indians. This is also called the festival of lights. On this day, Indians will light up oil candles as this is a very special day for them. There is a legend. It goes like this:
Long long ago, there live a fiercesome monster. It kills people every day in a village. Everyone in the village was scared of him. One day, they prayed to their god, Lord Krishnan. The monster chased them and killed them. Suddenly, Lord Krishnan appeared. The monster fought with Lord Krishnan. The fight went on and on. Lord Krishnan finally killed him. The people were very happy. They lighted up oil lamps as the days when there was the monster, they did not even dare to light up the lamps as they were scared the monster would eat them up. When this monster was killed, they finally had a peaceful and bright day without worrying for the monster anymore.
Thus, we marked this day as the festival on lights or Deepavali.
