People clean their homes. Further, homes are decorated with lamps & diyas. Families travel from far to be with their loved ones during Diwali. As a matter of fact, every member of the family buys new clothes. Goddess Lakshmi is worshipped to bring in prosperity. Special Aarti is held in the evenings for lord Ganesha & goddess Lakshmi. Once the puja is done, people play cards. People believe it is auspicious to play cards. In addition, bursting crackers was another important part of the festival. However, the pollution caused by the crackers has put an end to it. Festivities include celebratory lunches & dinners. Diwali parties start much before Diwali. As a matter of fact, it starts a month ahead.
In conclusion, sharing gifts with family & friends is an important activity during Diwali.
The Diwali shopping festival starts one month ahead of Diwali. Both offline & online shops offer discounts & other incentives to entice customers.It is the best season to buy clothes, jewellery, & white goods.
