The festival of lights or Diwali is one of the biggest festivals celebrated across India to celebrate the new year. This very special festival of lights is celebrated magically differently across five different days.
Ever wondered why Diwali is so very popular across the world? It is because of that festive coloured diyas and sparkling firecrackers that brings out the festive mood in people, thus becoming the dhoom-dhamaka festival of all time. Diwali also is known as Deepavali and this festival of lights marks the occasion of Hindu New year, which gives people hope, joy and a positive spirit to commence the new beginning.
THE GRANDEUR FESTIVAL
More like all the other festivals, Diwali is celebrated as a festival of grandeur. Being the festival of lights, Diwali is celebrated by decorating homes with diyas, lanterns and lights of different shapes and colours. While diyas come in different shapes and designs, lanterns are made with different cuts and colours which adds hues of joy in the house. The Diwali lights are set up in unique patterns, featuring different themes and ideas. While the modern-day Diwali celebrations include lighting fairy lights, string lights and LED light setups, the traditional ways of lighting lamps were done by using diyas which are made from clay. The lamps are made from clay which is then shaped, dried and brightly coloured to make houses brighten up for the most festive period of the year.
THE LEGEND OF DIWALI
Hindu festivals are often related with a backstory from Hindu mythologies. Diwali is one such festival which is based on Ramayana. We all know that Diwali is celebrated to commemorate the victory of Price Ram. But do we know what a crucial part it was? Prince Ram was exiled from his kingdom of Ayodhya, who was later caused more troubles by demons which led into a battle with the demon king Ravan. Diwali is the celebration of the victory of the war won by Prince Ram against King Ravan who takes Sita as his prisoner. It is believed that, when Prince Ram won the battle and came back home, native people illuminated their joy over this and wanted to help Prince Ram reach Ayodhya. In certain parts of India, apart from Lord Ram, Gods and Goddesses like Lakshmi, Ganesha and Kali are worshipped as they symbolise good luck, prosperity and wealth.
CRACKERS, SWEETS, NEW CLOTHES AND WHATNOT
Apart from lights, Diwali, as we know, is a festival of firecrackers, delicious sweets and brand new clothes. New clothes are worn as a symbol to cherish the new beginning of the new Hindu year. The finest of sweets are made and are gifted to family, friends, neighbours, and the needy to ensure a warm beginning for everyone. It is also customary to buy new things for the household to mark the prosperity of the days ahead.
