About Diwali
Diwali, the festival of lights, celebrates the victory of light over darkness and good over evil. Families clean and decorate their homes, light diyas and rangoli, and worship Goddess Lakshmi on the main night for wealth and happiness.
The celebrations run for five days: Dhanteras, Naraka Chaturdashi (Choti Diwali), Lakshmi Puja, Govardhan Puja and Bhai Dooj. People wear new clothes, share sweets and gifts, visit relatives and light up the sky with lamps and fireworks.
Also called: Deepavali, Lakshmi Puja.
