Diwali/Deepavali

Diwali / Deepavali, popularly known as the "festival of lights", is an important festival in Hinduism, celebrated for different reasons, occurring between mid-October and mid-November. For Hindus, Diwali is one of the most important festivals of the year and is celebrated in families by performing traditional activities together in their homes. For Jains, Diwali marks the attainment of Moksha or Nirvana by Mahavira in 527 BC.

Diwali involves the lighting of small clay lamps (Diya / Deep) filled with Oil/Ghee to signify the triumph of good over evil. During Diwali, all the celebrants wear new clothes and share Sweets and snacks with family members and friends.

Lakshmi puja is performed during Diwali, the festival of lights. According to tradition people would put small Oil/Ghee lamps outside their homes on Diwali and hope Lakshmi will come to bless them.

Goddess Lakshmi/Laxmi is worshipped by those who wish to acquire or to preserve wealth. It is believed that Lakshmi (wealth) goes only to those houses which are clean and where the people are hardworking. She does not visit the places which are unclean/dirty or where the people are lazy.

In the Sri Vaishnava philosophy however, Sri (Lakshmi) is honoured as the "Iswarigm sarva bhootanam" i.e. the Supreme goddess and not just the goddess of wealth. This is an important distinction between Sri Vaishnavism and other materialistic philosophies.

MOST IMPORTANT :- Use Lighting/ Prayers/ Perfumed (Etrr) it Self or own House.
