People in India call New
Year "Diwali" or "the Festival of Light(光)".
They often clean their houses before the day of Diwali. Most
people clean their houses in the morning. They often decorate their houses with
flowers. They also make sweet food look like flowers, people and animals. Then
they visit their friends and give them presents and cards.
On New Year's Day, many
people open the doors and windows and light(点亮) candles in front of the doors. They want to bring good luck
to their families. After Diwali, people often dean their houses again. Some
people like to make loud noises at their houses. They think this can make bad
spirits(幽灵} go away.
