Diwali 2020: Deepavali is just as much about colour as it is light.
Diwali, also pronounced as Deepavali is the festival of lights, usually lasting five days and celebrated during the Hindu Lunisolar month Kartika (between mid-October and mid-November). One of the most popular festivals of Hinduism, Diwali symbolizes the spiritual "victory of light over darkness, good over evil, and knowledge over ignorance".
Diwali is widely associated with Lakshmi, goddess of prosperity, with many other regional traditions connecting the holiday to Sita and Rama, Vishnu, Krishna, Yama, Yami, Durga, Kali, Hanuman, Ganesha, Kubera, Dhanvantari, or Vishvakarman. Furthermore, it is, in some regions, a celebration of the day Lord Rama returned to his kingdom with his wife Sita and brother Laxshman Ayodhya after defeating the Lankan-Ravan after serving 14 years of exile. So, this festival was originated from Ayodhya.
During Diwali, people wear their finest clothes, illuminate the interior and exterior of their homes with diyas and rangoli, perform Lakshmi puja - worship ceremonies of Lakshmi, the goddess of prosperity and wealth and light fireworks.
