DIWALI
Indian festival
Diwali (English: /dɪˈwɑːliː/; Deepavali (IAST: dīpāvali) or Divali) is the
Indian festival of lights, usually lasting five days and celebrated during the
Hindu Lunisolar month Kartika (between mid-October and mid-November). One of
the most popular festivals of Hinduism, Diwali symbolizes the spiritual
"victory of light over darkness, good over evil, and knowledge over
ignorance". The festival is widely associated with Lakshmi, goddess of
prosperity, with many other regional traditions connecting the holiday to Sita
and Rama, Vishnu, Krishna, Yama, Yami, Durga, Kali, Dhanvantari, or
Vishvakarman. Furthermore, it is, in some regions, a celebration of the day
Lord Rama returned to his kingdom Ayodhya after defeating the demon-king
Ravana.
In the lead-up to Diwali, celebrants will prepare by cleaning, renovating, and
decorating their homes and workplaces with diya and rangoli (oil lamps or
candles).During the Diwali people wear their finest clothes, illuminate the
interior and exterior of their homes with diyas and rangoli, perform (Lakshmi
puja) – worship ceremonies of Lakshmi, the goddess of prosperity and wealth,
light fireworks, and partake in family feasts, where mithai (sweets) and gifts
are shared. Diwali is also a major cultural event for the Hindu and Jain
diaspora from the Indian subcontinent.
Some other faiths in India also celebrate their respective festivals alongside Diwali. The Jains observe their own Diwali which marks the final liberation of Mahavira, the Sikhs celebrate Bandi Chhor Divas to mark the release of Guru Hargobind from a Mughal Empire prison, while Newar Buddhists, unlike other Buddhists, celebrate Diwali by worshipping Lakshmi, while the Bengali Hindus generally celebrate Diwali, by worshipping Goddess Kali. The main day of the festival of Diwali (the day of Lakshmi puja) is an official holiday in Fiji, Guyana, India, Malaysia (except Sarawak), Mauritius, Myanmar, Nepal,Pakistan, Singapore, Sri Lanka, Suriname, and Trinidad and Tobago.
