Deepawali
ek aisa festival jispar har taraf roshni he roshni hoti h
In the lead-up to Deepavali, celebrants prepare by cleaning, renovating, and decorating their homes and workplaces with diyas
(oil lamps) and rangolis (colorful art circle patterns).[12] During Diwali, people wear their finest clothes, illuminate the interior and exterior of their homes with diyas and rangoli, perform worship ceremonies of Lakshmi, the goddess of prosperity and wealth,[a] light fireworks, and partake in family feasts, where mithai (sweets) and gifts are shared. Diwali is also a major cultural event for the Hindu, Sikh, and Jain diaspora.The five-day long
festival originated in the Indian subcontinent and is mentioned in
early Sanskrit texts. Diwali is usually celebrated twenty days after the Vijayadashami (Dussehra,
Dasara, Dashain)
festival, with Dhanteras, or the regional equivalent, marking the first
day of the festival when celebrants prepare by cleaning their homes and making
decorations on the floor, such as rangolis. Some regions
of India start Diwali festivities the day before Dhanteras with Govatsa
Dwadashi. The second day is Naraka Chaturdashi. The third day is the day of Lakshmi
Puja and the darkest night of the traditional month. In some parts of
India, the day after Lakshmi Puja is marked with the Govardhan Puja and Balipratipada (Padwa).
Some Hindu communities mark the last day as Bhai Dooj or
the regional equivalent, which is dedicated to the bond between sister and
brother while
other Hindu and Sikh craftsmen communities mark this day as Vishwakarma
Puja and observe it by performing maintenance in their work spaces and
offering prayers.
