No Diwali Celebrate in Kithampeta : దీపావళి పండుగ రోజున బంధుమిత్రులకు మిఠాయిలు పంచి, శుభాకాంక్షలు తెలియజేసుకుంటారు. రకరకాల పిండి వంటలు చేసుకోవడం, కొత్త వస్త్రాలు ధరించడం, సాయంత్రం దీపాలు వెలిగించడం, టపాసులు కాల్చడం చేస్తాం. పిల్లలు, పెద్దలంతా బాణాసంచా కాలుస్తూ సందడి చేస్తారు. కాన చుట్టుపక్కల పల్లెల్లో పండుగ హడావుడి నెలకొన్నా ఆ గ్రామంలో ఎటువంటి సందడి కనిపించదు. దాదాపుగా 70 ఏళ్లుగా ఆ ఊరు దీపావళికి దూరంగా ఉంటోంది. మరి ఎందుకో తెలుసుకోవాలంటే ఈ స్టోరీ చదవాల్సిందే.

00:00Deepavali festival means that every house in the country is lit up with the lights of Deepavali.
00:05People are dancing with joy.
00:07But there is one village that doesn't celebrate Deepavali festival.
00:10It is in Anakapalli district in our state.
00:12When it comes to Deepavali festival,
00:14there is no festival in Ravikamatham Mandalam, Kittampetam village,
00:17which is surrounded by many villages.
00:19For 70 years, the people of this village have not celebrated Deepavali festival.
00:22In the past, there was a fire accident on the day of the festival.
00:25As soon as the fire was extinguished, the villagers stopped celebrating Deepavali with fear.
00:29When we asked our elders,
00:31they told us that the fire was extinguished when the villagers were celebrating Deepavali.
00:38As a result, we have not been able to celebrate Deepavali festival in our village.
00:43When we asked our children,
00:45they told us that they were not able to celebrate Deepavali festival
00:49because the village was not celebrating Deepavali festival.
00:53The entire village is not celebrating Deepavali festival.
00:56As a result, no one is celebrating Deepavali festival our Kittamthali village.
01:02Since then, our elders have stopped celebrating our festival.
01:04So, we have been saying to our children and growing generation
01:07that we should go and celebrate our festival.
01:18In the past 70 years, the village was celebrating its Deepavali festival daily.
01:21Surprisingly, we have not celebrated Deepavali festival.
01:24We don't understand what the elders are saying and we don't want to listen to them.
01:33We don't want to listen to the elders and we don't want to celebrate the festival.
01:38We don't understand what the elders are saying and we don't want to listen to them.
01:44That's why we don't want to celebrate the festival.
