The festival of lights, Diwali, also known as Deepavali, is here. Diwali holds significance for Hindus as it symbolises the victory of good over evil. It is a five-day-long festive period that begins with Dhanteras and ends with Bhai Dooj.
This year, Diwali falls on Monday, October 24. People prepare for Diwali by cleaning their homes and decorating it with diya, flowers, and lights, making rangolis, buying new clothes and jewellery and eating lots of delicacies. One of the most significant rituals of this festival is the Lakshmi Puja. Devotees pray to Goddess Lakshmi on this day for blessing them with health, wealth and prosperity.
