Diwali is one of most anticipated festivals of India. People of all ages await the Diwali celebrations throughout the year. Of course, the preparations begin much before the actual day of the festival. The rich cultural heritage of India means that there are many festivals, which are celebrated in different ways as well throughout the year. However, Diwali is the one festival that is celebrated in every region, religion and state. People from all over the world celebrate the eradication of evil from the face of earth and pray for peace to reign for the years to come.

Some of the main elements of Diwali celebrations;

Firecrackers:The light and sound of firecrackers bursting in the sky are a treat for everybody. Children particularly enjoy the festival of Diwali and look forward to bursting firecrackers. Religiously, people believe that the sounds and fumes of firecrackers scare the demons away. The popular firecrackers include firepots, ground wheels, sparklers, snakes and bombs.

Sweets:The sweetness of sweets celebrates the end of the rule of evil and the rule of prosperity and happiness in the world. Sweets are prepared in homes to offer to the goddess of wealth. These sweets include Gulab Jamun, Rasgulla, Ghujia, Laddoos, Kheer and burfies. Sweets are exchanged with friends and families with well wishes for prosperity and wealth are made.

Shopping for new clothes and jewelry: The festival of Diwali also brings with it a shopping spree. People all over the world shop for new traditional clothes to wear on this day. ‘Spending wealth attracts more wealth’ being the mantra for Diwali. Jewelry shopping is also included in shopping list. The new clothes and jewelry are worn for the evening prayers and the celebrations afterwards.

Lights: The brightness of lights brings with it a new hope and joy that eventually the goodness in the world will always triumph over the evil. Traditional diyas (small oil lamps made from clay) are used to light up every room of the house. Candles, lanterns, beautiful lamps and electric lights are also used to add to the brightness. Even the streets are decorated with beautiful lighting whilst ‘best lighting’ competitions are held in some areas. Lights are the most import element of Diwali celebrations. In years past, people celebrated the return of Lord Rama after defeating Lanka king Ravana by lighting up the whole city. The lights are a symbol of good and they cover the evil of darkness.
