Diwali is the most prominent festival that is celebrated in Hindu tradition. This is the festival that unites our entire nation in one.

While Diwali is primarily a Hindu festival, people from other religions too partake in the festivities and joy that Deepawali reverberates with equal enthusiasm.

It is believed that the people of Ayodhya welcomed Lord Rama by bursting firecrackers and lighting Diyas & Lamps. From then onwards, fireworks and diyas have come to symbolize the festival. It is believed that Goddess Lakshmi visits the house of her devotees on the day of Diwali and blesses them with enormous fortunes. She is known as the Goddess of wealth and money and when one worships her, she bestows them with wealth and riches. One can impress her by doing various things. From the ancient times, it is believed that lighting lamps on the day of Diwali is auspicious and one gets special grace of Goddess Lakshmi by lighting lamps.

Lighting earthen lamps also signify the need to illuminate every corner of our home during Diwali to welcome the grace of Goddess Laxmi.
