Diwali Celebration in Sivakasi

There was non stop Diwali celebration in Sivakasi from 12th November 2012 night to 13th November 2012 night. In fact, Sivakasians begin bursting of crackers well before the festival of Diwali. Some Sivakasians took oil bath and worship their favorite gods in temple and performed special poojas. There was crowd in all the mutton stalls and in chicken centres. Non veg likers stood in a very long queue and bought it.

Some Sivakasians prepared Paniyaaram, Ulundha Vada, Aama Vada, Gulab Jamun as sweets. Some Sivakasians were eager in watching the new released movies in theatres. There was huge crowd in front of Cinema theatres. Majority of the theatres were house full. Some Sivakasians showed their interest towards special Diwali shows broadcasted in Television.

The festival of lights, Diwali, brings fun, joy and togetherness. Children and youth eagerly look forward for the arrival of the festival. Everyone was with their new dresses and fired crackers. It was difficult for Sivakasians to travel from one place to another, as there was no auto service on Diwali Festival. Motorists remaining stuck, because of roadless roads youngers firing crackers in the roads for last two days, with out break, in all the streets of Sivakasi. So Sivakasians avoid roaming on Diwali days. Sivakasi has been seen with non stop sound and colourful lights throughout the festival. And all age sections enjoyed the festival.
