The lights were put up. The house was swept clean. Diyas and candles were all ready. New outfits were ironed and hanging in the wardrobe. However, Maya still couldn’t find that one thing that was missing. While scrolling through her phone, it struck her mind that all her home needed was a traditional touch. In no time and with a few clicks, Maya ordered the best home decor products from www.dhokrahandicrafts.com and lucky her! She got the 25% Diwali Special discount too.
Maya sure knows how to make her Diwali unique, but so will you as you read further!
The Story Behind the Celebration
Diwali, celebrated all over India as the Festival of Lights, is all about happiness and joy, the feeling of coming together and basking in the warmth and love of family and friends.
Mythologically connected with the glorious return of Lord Rama, Laxman and Sita to Ayodhya after fourteen years of exile, during which they also defeated the ten-headed demon -Ravana; Diwali is considered to be a celebration of the victory of good over evil.
Another aspect attached with Diwali in India is prosperity. From Goddess Laxmi to Kuber, people pray for health, wealth and everything prosperous.
How India Celebrates Diwali
Maya’s situation must have given you a hint about how most Indians celebrate Diwali. On the pious occasion, most families follow the ritual of worshipping Goddess Laxmi and Lord Ganesha. To prepare for the festival, houses are thoroughly cleaned to the last inch and new electronics and even gold is bought. People wear new clothes and purchase matching jewellery.
Lights are the biggest attraction as no home is dark on this day. Candles and diyas are a must. People also indulge in bursting crackers of all kinds and watch fireworks together (although, it is considered to be a pollution-causing activity). Gambling is also famous among many, although it is more of a ritual. People organise parties and get togethers to meet up with their loved ones, exchange gifts as a token of love and share the festive spirit.
