Happy Diwali
Diwali is one of the biggest festival of Indians, celebrated with great enthusiasm and happiness in India. The festival is celebrated for five continuous days, where the third days is celebrated as the main Diwali festival or 'Festival of lights'.
The festival of lights, Diwali, is arguably India’s biggest religious celebration. The Sanskrit word for it, Deepavali, translates into ‘row of lights’. Light symbolizes hope. Homes, institutions and entire neighborhoods are decorated with candles, earthen lamps and fairy lights on this auspicious moonless night. This is the one unifying facet of Diwali across regions.
Diwali has come to be associated with weeks of card parties that culminate in a grand evening of fire crackers, on the main day of the festival. Different regions of India have diverse ways of commemorating this day. Get-together are secondary to more ritualistic practices that vary from culture to culture.
Thus fireworks, feasts and festivities are meant to fulfill this desire. There is a lot of emphasis on buying items and gifting. Shop owners treat customers like gods and specially decorate marketplaces to welcome buyers.
Fire crackers are burst to welcome the goddess who is an embodiment of a dark and dynamic feminine force.
