Diwali 2020: Deepavali is as much about color as it is about light.
New Delhi:
Diwali, also pronounced as Deepavali is the festival of lights, which usually lasts for five days and is celebrated during the Hindu lunisolar month Kartika (between mid-October and mid-November). One of the most popular festivals in Hinduism, Diwali symbolizes the “spiritual victory of light over darkness, good over evil and knowledge over ignorance”.
Diwali is widely associated with Lakshmi, the goddess of prosperity, with many other regional traditions linking the holiday to Sita and Rama, Vishnu, Krishna, Yama, Yami, Durga, Kali, Hanuman, Ganesha, Kubera, Dhanvantari or Vishvakarman. Additionally, it is, in some areas, a celebration of the day Lord Rama returned to his kingdom with his wife Sita and brother Laxshman Ayodhya after defeating the Lankan-Ravan after serving 14 years of exile. So this festival originated from Ayodhya.
During 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 and light fireworks.
