The "Tomatina"

Yesterday I saw an advertisement about the world greatest tomato fight. Do you know what it is?. Well, it is called the "Tomatina". This celebration is not a religious one or even with a political significance. The first "Tomatina" took place in the mid 1940s. There, the participants must throw tomatoes each other. They have to pay for the 40,000 kilos of tomatoes used during the fight. Nowadays, this festival is an international affair and people from all over the world come to Buñol every year to enjoy the fun. Isn´t it fantastic?

Festival of Lights in India

Last day I read an article that explained how the festival of lights was in India. As you know Diwali is the name of that festival which takes place in the Hindu month of Aswin (October/November), and it lasts four days and ends with the celebration of the Hindu New Year. On the first day, people decorate their places with rangolis, traditional patterns which people draw on the floor with different coloured powders. On the second day, people get up early and take a bath before sunrise. On the third day, they celebrate with an enormous fireworks display. Finally, the fourth day arrives and most families celebrate by dressing in new clothes and wearing jewellery. Diwalli is also celebrated by Hindus all over the world. Do you know another important celebration like this? Please answer my question because I am interested in knowing different cultures.
