Diwali Decoration

Deewali has become a national Indian festival, —a time to celebrate the triumph of light over darkness, knowledge over ignorance, and good over evil.

Deewali,The mythical festival of light

It is associated with different legends depending on the region. It honors the return of Prince Rama after defeating the demon king in northern India and rescuing his wife Sita. The South celebrates Lord Kṛiṣhṇa's victory over another demon king. In the west, Vishnu marks the expulsion of powerful kings. Diwali has special stories for Sikhs, Jains, and Buddhists in India. Sikhs remember when their Guru was released from prison. The Jains on the day their great teacher Mahavira attained Nirvana. Buddhists celebrate the day when Emperor Asoka converted to Buddhism. Diwali is also associated with Goddess Lakshmi, the symbol of wealth and fortune. It used to be the last harvest before winter and prayers were offered for prosperity. Companies in India are still looking at the start of the financial year. The way Diwali is celebrated varies from region to region, but there are some common features. People enjoy delicious food, gather with family, and light ceramic lamps as a symbol of inner light and dispel darkness. Deewali is a five-day festival. On the first day, people pray to Lakshmi, decorate their houses, and decorate them with lights and colorful paintings. The other day is the most important, with a temple procession, feasting, and fireworks. On the second last day, people exchange gifts and good wishes, and on the fifth day, it is a brotherly honor. Deewali has become India’s biggest holiday, with stalls, fairs and fireworks. But in places like New Delhi, fireworks have raised concerns about air pollution, leading to bans in recent years.
