ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT DIWALI || VIBES OF THE FESTIVAL OF LIGHTS.


Once the autumn falls along the countryside, the first and foremost Hindu festival that strikes our brain is, “Festival of Lights”. The row of lights arranged together symbolizing the win of, ‘light over darkness, good over evil and knowledge over ignorance’ is where the significance of DIWALI originating from the Sanskrit word Deepavali, comes into limelight. Children consider it to be the festival of joy and happiness, dressing up themselves in new attire, exchanging sweets and having fun burning crackers with their cousins. Diwali holds its own reasons of celebration in different parts of the country.  It is grandly celebrated by Hindus, Jains, Buddhists, and Sikhs with their family elders and relatives.

In Jainism, the festival marks the nirvana or spiritual awakening of Lord Mahavira.
Sikhs believe it to be the day that Guru Hargobind Ji, the Sixth Sikh Guru was freed from imprisonment.

In northern India, they celebrate Diwali considering the sign of happiness, as Lord Rama returned to Ayodhya after he defeated king Ravana by lighting rows of clay lamps.
Whereas, Southern India celebrates it as the day that Lord Krishna defeated the demon Narakasura.

On the other hand, Western India believes it to be the day that Lord Vishnu sent the demon King Bali to rule the netherworld.

The most stunning, adorable and joyful phase of Diwali is that evening, when all the houses are beautifully lighted with clay lamps and all the children fire the crackers with lots of happiness and joyfulness is seen on their faces.

Generally, this festival is celebrated for five days with most different and unique rituals on each day.
