Diwali ("row of lamps") is a festival of lights celebrated every autumn in India. Diwali is celebrated by Hindus, Sikhs and Jains alike. During the celebration, temples, homes, shops and office buildings are brightly illuminated. In the lead-up to Diwali, celebrants will prepare by cleaning, renovating, and decorating their homes and workplaces. On Diwali itself, people wear their finest clothes, illuminate the interior and exterior of their homes with diyas offer puja to Lakshmi, the goddess of prosperity and wealth, light fireworks, and partake in family feasts, where mithai (sweets) and gifts are shared.
Diwali is the day Lord Rama, his wife Sita Devi and brother Lakshmana return to their homeland after 14 years in exile. The villagers lit a path for Rama, who had defeated the demon king Ravana. The people of Ayodhya lined the streets and their homes with clay lamps to welcomed them. People also celebrate the Hindu Goddess Lakshmi during Diwali.
May this festival bring lot of happiness in our life , stay safe and healthy, wishing you all a Happy Diwali and Happy New Year.
