Diwali is a festival of lights and one of the major festivals celebrated all over India. Diwali symbolizes the spiritual “victory of light over darkness, good over evil, and knowledge over ignorance.”
The festival of lights marks Lord Ram’s return to Ayodhya after a 14-year exile. People around the country celebrate the occasion in special ways, particularly by drawing rangolis, hosting Diwali parties at home, and cooking delectable foods and sweets.
Hindu mythology states that Lord Ram returned to Ayodhya on Diwali after slaying Ravana and spending 14 years in exile. People make wishes for health, wealth, and prosperity to the gods Lakshmi, Ganesh, and Kubera as part of the festival of lights.
With Dhanteras or Dhan Trayodashi as the first day and Bhai Dooj as the last, Diwali festivities last for five days. Govatsa Dwadashi signifies the beginning of Diwali in Maharashtra one day earlier. The festivities began on October 21 in Maharashtra. Drik Panchang predicts that Diwali’s five days began on October 22 and will end on October 25. This festival is also widely associated with Lakshmi, the goddess of prosperity.
