Diwali means 'row of lights' in Sanskrit, which is an ancient Indian language.
The festival is about light (or good) triumphing over dark (or evil), which is one reason why people light oil lamps.
It is illegal to ride a Mardis Gras float without a mask.
Official Mardis Gras colours are purple (justice), gold (power) and green (faith).
Christmas in Mexico is celebrated from the 12th December to 6th January.
Between 16th December until Christmas Eve children take part in a 'posada', which is a procession.
