Diwali, festival of lights, also known as Deepavali in Sanskrit, celebrationis a five-day Hindu festival and one of the most important in India.
Over time, the holiday has come to be observed by Hindus, Sikhs, Jains, and some Buddhists throughout India. The holiday, also known as the “festival of lights,” commemorates the triumph of light over darkness and good over evil.
This year’s celebrations began on Friday, but the main day is Sunday, as is customary on the 15th day of the Hindu month of Kartik. According to the BBC, Deepavali means “rows of lighted lamps,” and during Diwali, houses, shops, and public places will be decorated with small oil lamps known as diyals.
With the pandemic restrictions being slowly lifted, many will be looking forward to celebrating the festival of lights with their close ones, families and friends. While it remains ever so important to celebrate the festival in a safe and healthy manner, here are some wishes, messages and quotes to spread the festive joy with your loved ones.
The Diwali will be celebrated across the country on 4 November.
The festival marks Lord Ram’s return to the Kingdom of Ayodhya with his wife Sita after defeating and killing Ravana. The story of Diwali varies depending on location, but every tale revolves around the theme of good triumphing over evil.
Its origins in Northern India can be traced back to Rama, a major deity, defeating Ravana, a demon-king. Southern Hindus commemorate this day as the day the god Krishna defeated the demon Narakasura. This Day is celebrated in Western India as the day the god Vishnu sent the demon king Bali to rule the netherworld.
Although holiday lasts five days, the main celebration, known as Lakshmi Puja, takes place on the third day. People prepare to welcome Lakshmi, the Hindu goddess of wealth, on that day by keeping their homes immaculately clean. People will also bring sweets and gifts to their friends and family.
Diwali celebrations are most popular in India, but people all over the world will observe the holiday.
