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.
Thanks !
