Amma, Tell Me about Diwali!

Brilliant firecrackers lighting up the night,

Diyas twinkling like stars - what a sight

This is Diwali, in all its glory,

As told to little Klaka - a magical story.

First the celebration of Prince Rama and his homecoming,

His victory over Ravana, the evil demon King.

Next a story of Lakshmi, the Goddess of wealth

Who rewards her true devotees with fortune and health.
