Diwali, also known as Deepavali, is the Hindu festival of lights, symbolizing the victory of light over darkness, good over evil, and knowledge over ignorance. Celebrated by millions across India and around the world, it is one of the most joyous and popular festivals. Diwali usually falls in October or November, during the lunar months of Ashvina and Karttika. This year, it will be celebrated from October 31 to November 1, 2024.
The festival lasts for five days, each with its unique significance. It begins with Dhanteras, followed by Naraka Chaturdashi, Lakshmi Puja, Govardhan Puja, and ends with Bhai Dooj. During Diwali, people light diyas (earthen lamps), candles, and lanterns to illuminate their homes and decorate with colorful rangoli patterns.
It is a time for exchanging gifts, sweets, and performing puja (worship) to honor deities, particularly Goddess Lakshmi, who brings wealth and prosperity. Firecrackers, festive meals, and delicacies add to the celebrations. Beyond rituals, Diwali is a time for expressing gratitude, love, and goodwill. People send wishes, messages, and quotes to family and friends, sharing the joy and spirit of this auspicious festival.
Why Diwali is celebrated?
Diwali, also known as the Festival of Lights, is celebrated to symbolize the victory of light over darkness and good over evil. It marks the return of Lord Rama, his wife Sita, and his brother Lakshmana to Ayodhya after 14 years of exile. During this time, Lord Rama defeated the demon king Ravana, symbolizing the triumph of righteousness.
People lit diyas (oil lamps) to welcome them home, which is why lighting lamps is a key tradition during Diwali. The festival also celebrates the worship of Goddess Lakshmi, the deity of wealth, hoping for prosperity and happiness. Diwali brings families together to share joy, sweets, and gifts.
