Diwali is one of the much-awaited festivals in India. The festival of lights brings together friends, families and loved ones. The Diwali festivities are not complete without sweets, gifts, feasts and new clothes.
The festival of Diwali, also known as Deepavali, signifies the victory of light over darkness. The festival holds immense spiritual and religious significance for Hindus across India. In different states, the festival is celebrated as per the regional traditions and rituals.
It’s believed that Lord Ram returned to Ayodhya after 14 years of exile and the people of the kingdom lit earthen lamps to celebrate the day. In many states, devotees also worship Lord Ganesh and Goddess Lakshmi on Diwali to be bestowed with wealth, good luck and prosperity. The day is considered auspicious for new beginnings as well.
