Diwali, Dipavali, Divali or
Deepawali, which is also known as 'the festival of lights', is the
Indian festival that brings a series of festivals with it. One after
another we get a chance to celebrate five festivals together. The people
of all age groups and classes with equal zeal and enthusiasm celebrate
Diwali throughout India. They put on new apparels and participate in the
various activities that are related to Diwali celebrations. Diwali falls
on the day of 'Amavasyaa' usually in the month of October or November.
On this day people light tiny diyas to fill their homes with bright
light and create lovely designs all around their home with colorful
rangoli art. Diwali is not only a festival of celebrations such as
lightings, crackers, social gatherings to exchange greetings and sharing
sweets with your loved ones but it is also a festival that is filled
with spiritualism and religious activities such as worship of Goddess
Lakshmi, worship of Lord Ganesha, worship of Mother Kali, worship of
Lord Chitragupta and worship of Govardhan Parvat.
