About Diwali - Reason Behind Diwali Celebration:
Diwali is the main festival of Hinduism. Diwali, the festival of lights, is celebrated on the day of Kartik Amavasya. Diwali is also known as Deepawali. It is believed that on this night, decorated with lamps, Lakshmiji goes out to visit and share happiness with his devotees. The main story behind celebrating Diwali is related to Lord Shri Rama in the form of Vishnu.
It is believed that when Lord Ram reached Ayodhya, the entire city was welcomed by burning thousands of oil lamps (diya). The entire Ayodhya was decorated with flowers and beautiful Rangoli. Since then, Diwali has been called the festival of lights. People decorate with oil lamps to welcome Lord Rama to their homes. That is why this festival is also called 'Deepawali'. The tradition of oil lamps symbolizes the victory of good over evil.
People welcome Goddess Lakshmi by drawing beautiful Rangoli and Paduka (footer) at the entrance of their homes. To celebrate the festival of Diwali, people distribute sweets and fruits to friends, relatives and neighbors.
The celebration of Diwali is spread over a period of five days in which each day has its own importance and in which traditional rituals are followed. The celebration begins with 'Dhanteras', an auspicious day on which people buy utensils, silver utensils or gold. It is believed that buyers of new "money" or precious vaastu are auspicious. This is followed by a small Diwali, in which there is preparation for a big Diwali. People start decorating their homes, and resemble each other.
The next day, big Diwali is celebrated. On this day, people perform Lakshmi Puja, visit each other's house with sweets and gifts, burn firecrackers and spend time with their family and friends. The next day of Diwali is the festival of Govardhan Puja and finally the five-day festival ends with Bhai Dooj where Bahi puts tilak on her brothers' foreheads and siblings pray for each other's well-being.
Lakshmi Puja on Diwali 2019
In most of the houses, Laxmi Puja on Diwali is worshiped on Deepawali. According to Hindu belief, Lakshmi ji visits the earth on the new moon night and blesses the people with glory. There is no mention of worship of Ganesha on Deepavali, but without his worship, every worship is considered incomplete. Hence Vighnaharta Shri Ganesh ji is also worshiped along with Lakshmi ji.
