 Deepavali- Festival of Lights

Indians are very particular in celebrating festivals and rituals as a tradition. During the festivals, they seem to be very pleasant and enthusiastic. Despite the difficulties of life and daily mundane, they respite in celebrating festivals on rich and delightful grounds.

For every season, almost year-long Indians have many festivals. Beginning with UGADI (New Year Beginning For Many People in India) often celebrated in the month of Chaitra, they end with Sree Rama Navami ( Celebrating the Birth Day of Lord Rama).

Deepawali or Diwali is being celebrated every year after the rainy season in the Hindu month of Kartika (October - November). It is a major Indian festival observed with much enthusiasm, gay abandon, and good preparation. During this age-old festival, all people despite their religious beliefs take part in celebrations. They illuminate their houses, shops, business establishments with colorful lights. These lights symbolize the aspirations and wishes of their hearts.


The festival reminds us of Lord Rama's triumphant return to Ayodhya after defeating Ravana of Lanka. On this day Rama was crowned as king of Ayodhya and celebrations were held on a large scale. And every nook and corner was lighted with lamps at night. During night Lakshmi, the goddess of wealth is worshipped and her blessings sought. The businessmen close their old accounts and open new books on this auspicious day. The Jains celebrate it because Mahavir, the 24th Tirthankara obtained Nirvana on this day.
