Diwali is the most popular festival of India. The glittering festival is celebrated with extreme euphoria all over the country. To mark the 'Festival of Lights' people decorate houses with traditional earthen diyas and candles. Dazzling fireworks are very much part of the festival just as the mouth watering sweets. People exchange greetings and Diwali Gifts with loved ones.
In the midst of today's busy lifestyle, Diwali gives an opportunity to pause and be grateful for what we have, to make special memories with family and friends, to laugh and enjoy what life offers us.
Diwali in History
The history of Diwali is replete with legends and these legends are moored to the stories of Hindu religious scriptures, mostly the Puranas. Though the central theme of all legends point out to the classic truth of the victory of the good over the evil, the mode of their presentation and the characters differ. Diwali, being the festival of lights, lighting the lamp of knowledge within us means to understand and reflect upon the significant purpose of each of the five days of festivities and to bring those thoughts in to our day-to-day lives.
