What Diwali Means to People - Family, Fashion & Festival of Lights .
What Comes to Your Mind When You Hear"Diwali"?
Maybe house cleaning, crowded markets, homes shining with lights, or those childhood memories when bursting crackers with friends felt like the biggest joy.
For everyone, Diwali has a slightly different meaning. For some, it's a festival of faith and devotion, while for others it's a moment to connect with family. In this article, we will understand how people look at Diwali and what it's true significance is for them.
πΈ Dhanteras - The Beginning of Diwali
Dhanteras marks the start of the five-day Diwali celebration. On this day, people buy something new for themselves - some purchase gold jewelry, silver coins, TV or electronics, while others buy items needed for the home. Many also buy gold and silver coins.
This day is dedicated to Goddess Lakshmi and Lord Kuber. People believe that worshipping them brings wealth, happiness, and prosperity to the household. Buying new items, especially gold, silver, and utensils, is considered a symbol of good fortune.
π️ The Religious Side of Diwali
The biggest significance of Diwali is rooted in religious traditions. In Hinduism, it is celebrated to honor the return of Lord Ram to Ayodhya after 14 years of exile. Every home performs puja -especially Lakshmi Puja.
It is believed that Goddess Lakshmi visits homes on this day and blesses them with prosperity and wealth. Lighting diyas also symbolizes the victory of light over darkness.
So, Diwali is not just a celebration, it is a festival of faith.
