Diwali or Deepawali, the festival of lights is being celebrated on the 20th & 21st October 2025.It is by far the most important festival in India. Shopping markets are brightly lit & welcome you with a festive facade. Homes are decorated with flowers & string lights. Coloured & perfumed candles add to the sentiment. The air is filled with joy & the mood is celebratory.
In the mythological tale of Ramayana, Lord Rama killed the demon King Ravana in Sri Lanka and returned to his kingdom,Ayodhya in India. Legend has it that he returned in the middle of the night on Amavasya (New Moon ). Due to the complete darkness, lamps were lit along his path by the residents of Ayodhya to welcome Lord Rama, home. The tradition continues till today and is celebrated as Diwali. It is by far ,the biggest, liveliest & joyous festival in India.
Families congregate, children return home and the warmth & joy of Diwali can be seen everywhere . People used to burst fire crackers at one point. However, all this has been banned for all practical purposes due to pollution. Further, exchanging gifts is a big part of Diwali tradition.
