Diwali, known as Deepawali, is considered India's biggest and most beloved festival because it is associated with Lord Rama. It symbolizes the victory of light over darkness and good over evil. Therefore, Deepawali is very close to us Indians, and it is a festival celebrated worldwide.

There is a significant mythology behind this: when our Shri Ramchandra, meaning our Shri Ram, returned to Ayodhya after spending 14 years in exile, the people of the entire state welcomed him in their homes. They cleaned their homes and lit lamps, lit Holi lamps, and welcomed him by bursting crackers. From then till today, we celebrate Diwali every day. It is in the joy that on this day, our Shri Ram, our Lord Rama, returned to Ayodhya. He returned to his home. He returned to his people. After facing so many difficulties and killing so many evils, and when this reflects our joy, it is a great joy for us that our Shri Ram returned. To this day, we celebrate Diwali for this very reason, to bring happiness to our homes.  Whatever wealth we have in our house, may it come and in the same way, from then till today, Diwali is celebrated.

So, we celebrate Diwali so that the negativity in our lives is completely removed. Our lives are completely filled with positivity and happiness, and negativity is removed from our lives. The lamp that we light represents the light within us, the wisdom within us that who we are will always be positive and good things will always come to us. Today is a very special day for us. It represents this very thing and Diwali is considered very auspicious for us. For us Indians, all the negativity in our lives is removed on this day, and all the positivity and whatever happens, comes back into our lives. We become very positive and we remain very happy.

Its preparation starts with house cleaning. There is painting, decoration. We make rangoli for lighting. We decorate our homes with our own hands, give gifts, gifts. We give special gifts to our family and friends and on the pretext of this festival of Diwali, we meet our relatives. We meet our friends who are probably named Meena Meena. They come to our house. We wish each other well. We make good things with each other, feed sweets and wish good things for each other so that everything goes well in our life and your life too. So this is a way to power up our relationship as well, that Diwali.

We celebrate this Diwali for 5 days. First comes Dhanteras. Dhanteras is the time to do remedies for gold or utensils. With this, we bring gold in our house. Silver is also sent and when we do this, we pray to God that such things should come to our house every year and every month and all our good things happen. Then secondary is a small Diwali when we decorate our house, do lighting, light diyas and make very beautiful rangoli. We start decorating our house a day before the arrival of Shri Ram. In our Diwali worksheet, we worship and offer prayers to Lord Lakshmi ji and Lord Ganesh ji so that wealth, happiness and prosperity remain in our house and everyone remains happy.Then comes Govardhan Puja, when we celebrate and play the story of when he saved everyone in Vrindavan. This too has a different story which I will tell you later. We perform Govardhan Puja so that everyone in our home remains happy and well. Then comes our Bhai Dooj, which we celebrate. We do it to maintain the health of our brother and sister, to keep their health good and to keep their health full of love and happiness. Bhai Dooj is a very big festival for me and these 5 days are my favorite. So this journey from Diwali to Bhaav Doodh brings a lot of happiness in everyone's life. We get together with our relatives and friends and our relationships get strengthened.  This gives strength to our relationship and with this excuse we all spend some days happily with each other, it brings a lot of positivity in our life and also makes our relationship very good.

So, there's a ritual and traditional store. Ours are very cute. We worship Goddess Lakshmi. For wealth and well-being, we light candles, and in the past, we even burst crackers. But nowadays, it's just that.And eco-friendly Diwali has become very popular which reduces pollution. We strongly believe in sharing sweets and gifts and people focus a lot on lighting, love and less noise. Which is a very good thing, so Diwali brings happiness in our homes and also does not cause noise pollution or pollution which was very widespread earlier due to crackers but now we have stopped that. We strongly believe in celebrating eco-friendly Diwali, so it is a very good thing that India is moving towards eco-friendly Diwali. It has already moved and our whole India celebrates it as a friendly Diwali.

And what we call special dishes. Meaning, we call them special sweets. Laddu, barfi, kachori, they are abundant in our homes and we have family gatherings. There are dinosaurs, letters, celebrations and this symbolizes. Diwali symbolizes unity. People, region and community and here people from all regions and communities celebrate Diwali, so this unity shows that we all are together and it spreads it. Today in happiness, forgiveness and togetherness, those with whom we are angry or whom we have to agree to, they also agree to us, so this is a very good thing, so the conclusion is that Diwali is not a festival. It is a feeling. It is a victory. It is a hope. It is renewable. It is for us. We celebrate it.  The love, lighting and promises we spread, the kindness we spread. The true meaning of Diwali is that we should be happy with who we are and keep others happy, and let the resentment and complaints we have go away and we should live our lives with happiness, well-being and joy.
