                                                                   Tihar Tihar is a festival of lights. My Tihar was very good. I went to my maternal uncle's house. There are 5 days in Tihar. Kag Tihar is the first day. In this day I did not did kag puja because no crow would come there in my maternal uncle's house. The second day is Kukur Tihar. In this day I did puja, put tika and garland our dog.The third day is called Laxmi Puja. In this day we did Laxmi puja and all the houses were full of lights as well as we made rangoli of different colours. There were many rangoli in each and every house. The fourth day is Govardan Puja. At night my grandmother made seil roti. In this day also I didn't did puja to goru because there was no goru in my home. I was sad but my grandparents told me that in this day you can puja the buffalo so I did puja to the buffalo and gave green grass to eat. The last day is called Bhai Tika. In this day whole member of our family was together.
