"significance of the festival of light "

Diwali is one of India’s most popular festivals which is celebrated with much grandeur and enthusiasm. The five-day-long festival of lights will begin with Dhanteras and end with Bhai Dooj. Diwali is celebrated on the 15th day of the waning moon (Krishna Paksha) in the Hindu lunar month of Kartik. This year, the festival will be celebrated in India on 4 November.Diwali (also spelled Divali), the festival of lights, is one of the major holidays of Hinduism and is also celebrated in Jainism and Sikhism. The five-day festival marks the beginning of the Hindu New Year and occurs during the final three days of the “dark half” of the lunar month Ashvina and the first two days of the “light half” of the month of Karttika in the Vikrama calendar (one of the liturgical lunisolar calendars used in Hinduism); it occurs in late October or November of the Gregorian calendar. A row of lamps is lit to request Lakshmi, the goddess of good fortune, to come to earth and bring auspicious blessings for the coming year. During this time, Jains commemorate the Tirthankara (savior) Mahavira’s attainment of nirvana, and Sikhs commemorate the return of the Guru Hargobind from captivity.Although often linked to Halloween, the Day of the Dead is a time when death is celebrated, not feared. During the two days of festivities, people don skull masks, decorate graves, and build altars, all to honor dead loved ones and make peace with the eventuality of death. While observed in various Latin American countries, it is most commonly associated with Mexico, where the holiday was derived from the rituals of pre-Hispanic peoples.
