CAIF

This year we learned about the festival of lights called Diwali from our Hindu CAIF members. They shared about how they wear new clothes, eat sweet indian treats (matai), and do pooja (praying) at home to the Godess Lakshmi. Diwali is a symbolic event that celebrates the victory of Lord Ram and uses light to protect them from the darkness. Our friends told us they decorate their homes with rangoli (colored chalk).
