The people of North India celebrate the joy of the return of Lord Rama to Ayodhya<\/b> after defeating the demon king Ravana. <\/b><\/p>In South India, it is celebrated for the victory of Lord Krishna over the demon king Narakasura by lighting up candles in a row. And in some places, it is celebrated for the marriage of Lord Vishnu and Goddess Lakshmi.<\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1666544781676","data":"63556866576e4"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1666544781677","data":"Diwali is celebrated for five days<\/b>, the first day is Dhanteras<\/b>, which is known as Dhanatrayodashi. On this day people stay busy cleaning the house, and workplace and decorating it beautifully. People buy gold on this day as it is believed that buying gold items on Dhanteras brings fortune to the house. Also, people keep themselves busy shopping for their own clothes and accessories. Dhanteras is considered to be auspicious and hence is also a great day to start any business. In the evening of this day, people light up diyas and see that the diyas keep burning all throughout the night to honour Goddess Lakshmi. One can gift their loved ones and family any gold jewellery silver articles and spiritual articles on this auspicious day. <\/p>\n\nThe second day of this lighting festival is known as Choti Diwali<\/b> or Naraka Chaturdasi. On this day people celebrate the victory of light over dark, symbolising the destruction of Narakasura by Lord Krishna. In some places of the country, it is celebrated by worshipping Goddess Shakti or Goddess Kaali who killed the demon Narakasura. People also offer their prayers for the souls of their ancestors by visiting their graves. And in the evening people light diyas and enjoy by firing the crackers. On this day of the festival, people intend to keep themselves clean both inside and out. Hence, they perform abhyanga snan early in the morning. It is done by applying a mixture of rosewater, besan and other elements all over the body.\n\n <\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1666544781678","data":"6355691b85c4b"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1666544781679","data":"On the third day, Lakshmi Puja<\/b> is performed, and everyone from the family offers prayers to Goddess Lakshmi, ensuring blessings and prosperity. This day is marked as an important day and people light diya in their homes and visit the temples along with their families. In the modern era of this generation, Diwali is celebrated by burning fireworks, leading to an increase in global warming. We, being responsible, try to celebrate Diwali in an eco-friendly manner. People offer Goddess Lakshmi turmeric, kumkum and some beautiful flowers on this day. Later that day they light up a special Diya in front of Goddess Lakshmi and worship her. People believe that it would be great if you gift a Tulasi plant or an idol of Goddess Lakshmi on this day. <\/p>The fourth day of Diwali is celebrated as Govardhanagiri Puja, where people celebrate Lord Krishna\u2019s victory over Lord Indra, the king of all gods. On this day, Lord Krishna lifts the Govardhanagiri to save the villagers from the heavy rain with his little finger. The Govardhanagiri served as a shelter for the villagers. Hence, Lord Krishna gets the name Giridhari. Thus, people worship the Govardhanagiri on this day and offer Lord Krishna vegetarian food to show gratitude and devotion. \n\n <\/p>The fifth day of Diwali is celebrated as Bhai Dooj<\/b>, celebrated to show the most beautiful bond between brothers and sisters. We know that a brother and sister share a great, unique bond. There is a belief that on this day, Lord Krishna meets his beloved sister Subadhra. Returning after he kills the demon Narakusur. Sisters on this day pray for the success and well-being of their brothers by sweetening the mouths of their brothers and giving them gifts and praying for their well-being. On this auspicious day, you can also give anything that your siblings love. <\/p>Diwali is celebrated not only in India but also across the globe. In the United States<\/b>, it is celebrated by minority groups demanding recognition in the public sphere through these cultural and religious festivals by performing dances and conducting fests. They also put large-scale exhibitions to educate people about Diwali and South Asian cultures to outsiders and appreciate them, and develop respectful relations. Diwali is also celebrated in Indonesia<\/b>. And all the rituals performed there during Diwali are similar to those of India making it a treat to watch. In Malaysia<\/b>, Diwali is celebrated as Hari Diwali<\/b>, and the rituals are a bit different from those that are followed in India. On this day of the festival, people have an oil bath in the morning and then head to temples to offer prayers. Since the sale of crackers is banned in Malaysia, people here celebrate this festival by lighting up candles and exchanging sweets, gifts and good wishes.\n<\/p>On a whole, Diwali is a time for celebrating, visiting relatives, exchanging gifts, wearing new clothes, feasting and setting off lights.\n <\/p> <\/p> <\/p>"}]
