Diwali - Celebrating light over darkness

Diwali is the Hindu festival of lights with its variations also celebrated in other Indian religions. It symbolizes the spiritual "victory of light over darkness, good over evil, and knowledge over ignorance"

Exploring the significance of Diwali

Do you see gleaming lamps and luminous lights decorated in the corridors of your neighbourhood? Do you sense an aroma of sweets permeating your house? While walking down the street, did you spot someone carrying bags of new clothes with a smile on their face? If your answer is yes, then it is that time of the year.

Despite the fact we—Indian—share several festivals to celebrate, Diwali (or Deepavali as we call it in the South) has always been the festival that most of us look forward to celebrating. Diwali signifies the triumph of light over darkness. It symbolizes one's possibility to fight against all evils and the ability to overcome hardships and be successful in life. Unlike other Indian religious festivals, Diwali is celebrated unanimously by all Indians in the world. Although the celebrations differ for each region, the essence of the festival remains the same.

What is significant about Diwali?

Diwali is always regarded as a festival of buying happiness for not just us but for the people around us, too. It fosters the thought of togetherness and brings about unity. Children are taught to share sweets from their homes with their neighbors and encouraged to apportion their crackers among friends and family. Associated with innumerable emotions, this festival of lights spreads supreme happiness and gives a ray of hope. It instils a sense of self-belief and an invigorating dimension to our lives. Irrespective of age, Diwali brings out the child inside all of us and makes us feel like painting the town red. Diwali is a notable festival not just because of the external attractions of lights and sound but for the values it brings along. For people living away from their hometown, Diwali still happens to be their reason to visit their families and spend time with their loved ones. On top of all this, who wouldn’t cherish a day off from school and work?
