Jai Swaminarayan, My favorite Diwali day is New Year because there is annakut that day and we get to be at Mandir all day. I also love that we are able to help out in the Annakut. In our Balika Mandal, we have a mini Annakut in which every Balika brings in 2 or 3 items and we have an Annakut with those items. We also get to help out in the main Annakut by making the juices and drinks and we get to put them on the steps. Not only the drinks, but we also get to put the food items on the steps! This is why New Year is my favorite Diwali day. Jai Swaminarayan

Jay Swaminarayan! My favorite Diwali day is Rangoli because on this day you get to decorate a Rangoli at the entrance or near the doorway, after washing the floor. A Rangoli is an intricate and artistic design, using different colored powers. It represents an auspicious welcome for Lakshmiji, who visits people during Diwali to grant wealth. Even though, I don't live in India where many Rangolis are done, I do Rangoli at my local mandir for Diwali. Overall, this is my favorite Diwali day from the numerous ones we have. Jay Swaminarayan.

My favorite is Diwali. I love it because there's fireworks and lots of divas. Diwali makes me feel happy. It gives me a chance to ask Maharaj and Swami to forgive me, for any mistakes during the past year. It also gives me a chance to do various types of seva.I love doing seva because it pleases Bapa.

My most favouritediwali is ANNAKUT FESTIVAL which is a vast offerings of vegetarian food items to Bhagwan Swaminarayan to serve our first wealth to God. It's a very holistic and festival in which Maharaj was decorated with beautiful and nice dresses to give happiness and enlighten people with his darshan. It gives a very spiritual message to people to adopt vegetarianism in their life and make their life pure and non violence. I like this because it is my most favouritediwali. it gives me a immmense pleasure on having the wonderful darshan of Maharaj.

My favorite day of the diwali festival is Annkut or the first day of the New Year. This is because I feel like bhagwan is has given me another year for me to study hard and make him happy. I feel that I am truly blessed by him and want to make the most out if the upcoming year and do whatever I can to make him happy. Also I enjoy Annkutbecasue I can offer bhagwan whatever I made for Annkut in the main thal. I am very fortunate to serve Thakorji my bhakti and will never forget his compassion and kindness.

Jay swaminarayan. We celebrate diwali which is also known as the festival of lights. We celebrate it because we are honoring bhagwanshri ram after he suffered for 14 years. After he killed ravan( the demon who kidnapped Sita ). We should do puja and we should celebrate the 5 days of diwali. Which are thanteras, kadichaudas, diwali, bestuvarash, bhai-bij. In these days we do certain things for certain reasons and for certain devs. On diwali we also light our houses and leave our doors open to get laxmi( money ). Bye and again jay swaminarayan I hope you have a happy diwali.

My favorite day of Diwali would definitely be Annakut/New Years. This day is most enjoyable because we get to go to mandir from sun up to sun down and have darshan of the beautiful annakut displayed by the murtis. We also get to have a lot of fun with friends and family as we celebrate the Hindu New Year!

My favorite Diwali day is the day of Diwali because that is when good truimphs over evil; Ram wins a battle against Ravan. This is the day Urmila finally gets to see her husband Lakshman. This is the day Sita is back with Ram. This is the day Bharat's 14- year simplicity ends and all is back to normal. This is why Diwali is my favorite day of Diwali.

My most favourite day is the day which we do chopdapujan. This is because we do pujan of books that we will use the next year and this makes the books pure. This will help us in our future. If we run a business then even if the company/shop is suffering a loss it will earn profit. That will help everyone.That is why i like the day of chopdapujan.
