In India, Diwali is a celebration of lights. It is derived
from the Sanskrit word ‘deepavali’ which means ‘row of lighted lamps’
and represents the victory of good over evil. It also signifies the end
of the harvest season and the onset of winter
Deepawali or Diwali is a festival of lights symbolizing the victory
of righteousness and the lifting of spiritual darkness. The word
“Deepawali” refers to rows of diyas, or clay lamps. This is one of the
most popular festivals in the Hindu calendar. It is celebrated on the
15th day of Kartika, according to the Hindu calendar. This festival
commemorates Lord Rama's return to his kingdom Ayodhya after completing
his 14-year exile. The myths around Rama and Ravana are told during
another holiday, known as Dussehra or Vijaya Dashami.
The Goddess Lakshmi was Vishnu’s consort and she symbolizes wealth
and prosperity. She is also worshipped on Diwali. This festival is
celebrated in West Bengal as "Kali Puja", and Kali, Shiva's consort, is
worshipped during Diwali. The Diwali festival in southern India often
commemorates the conquering of the Asura Naraka, a king of Assam who
imprisoned many people. It is believed that Krishna freed the prisoners.
Many Buddhists in India mark anniversary of the Emperor Ashoka’s
conversion to Buddhism around the time of Diwali. Many scholars believe
that Ashoka lived between 270BCE and 232 BCE. Many people who observe
Jainism mark the anniversary of Mahavira's (or Lord Mahavir) attainment
of nirvana on October 15, 527 BCE. Mahavira established the central
spiritual ideas of Jainism. Many Jains celebrate the Festival of Lights
in his honor.
Bandi Chhorh Divas, which is the Sikh celebration of the sixth
Nanak's (Guru Har Gobind) return from detention in the Gwalior Fort,
coincides with Diwali. This coincidence has resulted in the similarity
of celebrating the day among many Sikhs and Hindus.
