Diwali, also known as Deepavali, is one of the biggest and most-loved festivals throughout India. Celebrated by millions of people, it is full of lights, Diwali special delicacies and presents. One of the reasons why Diwali is cherished by people is the nobility of its message, with the central theme being the triumph of light over darkness, and good over evil. This message holds even greater significance in today’s times, with this year serving up one troubling event after another, and so we must make sure to wish everyone happy Diwali and play our part in spreading the cheer!

Why do we celebrate Diwali and how is Diwali celebrated?

Let us delve into a little information on Diwali and why it is celebrated with great enthusiasm. After 14 years in exile, it is widely believed that on this day, Lord Rama made a return to his people after Rama’s army of good vanquished Ravana’s army of evil and rescued Sita from captivity.

This five-day festival begins with Dhanteras, a day that embraces good luck, prosperity and wealth for everyone. On this day, people purchase jewellery and utensils, as metals are believed to keep bad luck at bay and bring prosperity. This is followed by Chhoti Diwali, Diwali itself, Govardhan Puja and then Bhai Dooj wraps up this joyful and happy Deepavali festival.

In the days leading up to Diwali, people vigorously clean their homes until not even a speck of dust is visible. Then the homes and workplaces are decorated with great care, using a variety of diyas, flowers, lights and rangolis. People don their finest garments and prepare the most delicious sweets and savouries for this occasion.
