"As part of the Hindu Gujarati community, Diwali is a very special festival for my family and me. A week before Diwali, we start cleaning and decorating our home with colourful rangoli, flowers and lights. We light diyas, wear new clothes, visit the temple to pray, and donate food and clothes to people in need'

" Our family gathers to offer prayers to Goddess Lakshmi and Lord Ganesha, after which the kids enjoy firecrackers. Best of all, we wrap up the night by sharing a wonderful meal cooked by our elders"

"Having lived in the UK for more than 18 years, Diwali has become a lovely blend of my Indian roots and British life. And being in Leicester makes it even more special! From the beautiful lights along the Golden Mile to the festive buzz of Belgrave Road, there's a little piece of India right on our doorstep."

"Together, we lit sparklers and busvans, turning our street into a glowing world of gold, green, and red sparks. I accidentally damaged my new clothes in all the excitement, but it was worth it. My dad just looked at me with a smile and said, 'Don't worry, it's fine. We can get you a new one."
