Question

Essay on diwali in english with introduction

Answer 1

Diwali 
 

Diwali symbolizes the great cultural heritage of the Hindus. Diwali means a line of lamps. This age old festival of India is celebrated on the new moon day { Amavasya } of the Marathi month, Kartik. The decorative lamps hanged outside the houses look beautiful in the darkness of new moon day.

Evan the stars appear dim in front of these lamps. Diwali is not a one day festival, It is a collective festival of 4 - 5 days. The first day is called as Dhantrayodashi. Second day is known as Narak Chaturdashi. Next day is the main day of Diwali , called as Laxmi Pujan. 

Though this festival lasts for 4 to 5 days, it's preparations start long before. People clean their houses, and renew them. This festival reminds us about our glorious past. We can turn the darkness of the new moon day into full moon day by illuminating the lights. 

So, similarly , We should pray to God to show us the right path and take us from the darkness towards the light of the knowledge.

Hello Mate!

Diwali Essay :------

We have many festivals. Among them, Diwali is one of them as the Hindus are rich in festivals
and rituals. Tihar falls after Dashain in the end of October. During this festival, birds and animals are worshipped. It is the festival of lights and flowers too. Everything is cleaned properly.

'Diwali' is also called Tihar. It is known as Bhaitika in some places. Thus the terms Diwali, Tihar and Bhaitika refer to the same festival. This festival is generally celebrated for five days, so it is said Yampanchak. During this festival some animals, birds, gods and goddesses are worshipped. On the first day,
crows are worshipped by offering foods to them. On the second day, dogs are worshipped. Similarly, we worship cows on the third day. On the second or third day, Goddess Laxmi is worshipped. She is believed to be the
goddess of wealth. People worship the oxen on the fourth day. Furthermore, 'self' is also worshipped on this day. It is known as Mha Pooja. The fifth day is called 'Bhaitika'. On this day, sisters offer Tika, variously-coloured mark, on the foreheads of the brothers. They also offer the garlamds of flowers on the neck of the brothers. The brothers are also provided with sweets, fruits, and other special food items. In return, brothers offer Tika, gifts and money to their sisters. They enjoy delicious foods sitting together. Before the sisters worship their brothers, they worship 'Yamraj', the Lord king of death. It is believed that the life span of the brothers gets lengthened when they worship the Lord king of death.

As this is the festival of lights and flowers, various kinds of candles, lights and traditional Diyos are lit in order to illuminate the whole building of the people. The flowers blooming in flower gardens beautify the whole environment. Flowers are tremendously used during this festival. We can observe the houses being decorated with flowers and garlands. During this festival, people and children move door to door dancing and chanting some cultural songs which are called "Dyousi" and "Bhailo". These songs are melodiously chanted and sung in groups.

This festival strengthens sound relation between brothers and sisters. They can exchange and share their feelings, sorrows and happiness. They can understand each other. Small boys and girls seem to be happy. I think this festival does not need a huge expenditure. I do realize it is better than Dashain because animals are worshipped in this festival. This festival teaches us a lesson that we should preserve all the animals. I like this festival very much. No doubt, this festival deserves sacred respect of the people.

Hope It Helps!
