Diwali is probably the biggest festival in India as it is celebrated with grandeur and effulgence that isn’t seen on any other occasion. It is a festival of lights, joy, and feasts that prevails in every home on this evening. From diyas to rangolis, artificial lights, sweets, and camaraderie, there’s everything that makes this festival an awaited bash.
And besides the celebrations, Diwali also is believed to bring affluence and wellness to our homes. On this evening, Goddess Laxmi is worshipped ceremonially in every Hindu home. After the rituals, it is time to light up the crackers and all types of incendiaries that disseminate myriad colors in the sky and surroundings.
What makes Diwali such a big festival is probably the reason for its celebration. This day commemorates the return of Lord Ram to Ayodhya after defeating Ravana. The magnitude of celebration touches every home irrespective of their socio-economic strata. Because everyone can celebrate this festival with what they have and accelerate their happiness.
Diwali gets predated by Choti Diwali and Dhanteras respectively. Dhanteras is considered an auspicious day for shopping. Even with a frugal budget, people do some kind of buying on this day. The celebrations extend for two more days as we celebrate Govardhan puja and Bhai Duj on the following day post the day of Deepawali.
On all these days, the feeling of bonhomie remains at its peak. It is also a time when office and factory employees receive bonuses, shopkeepers revel in boosted sales, and wage-earning folks get extra payments and gifts from their employers. All in all, this festival brings happiness to everyone. And since no festival is completed without sweets in India, we must talk about that too.
From traditional sweets to chocolates, everything is exchanged at this festival. The culture of giving sweets helps us relish all sorts of sweets. Also, the Diwali shopping spree is a ubiquitous phenomenon that lets many small businesses flourish in this country. From electronics to apparel and any odd item that you can think of, everything sells at this festival.
Another popular occurrence is cleaning and whitewashing. Weeks before Diwali, Indian homes get a facelift. People clean their spaces and renovate them too. They make sure that every corner of their home is spick and span. These days, people decorate their homes with all types of fancy lights. The embellishments turn their homes into a stunning spectacle that is enjoyed by every onlooker. So you see, Diwali is not just a festival. it has a huge impact on people’s lives and our economy too. It fills our life with lights and mirthful moments that we remember throughout our lifetime. It brings the migrant workers back to their native places and gives every family a reason to celebrate. It is a festival that accentuates our lives with lots of light and happiness.
