There is an auspicious flavour in the air when Dipawali, also known as
Diwali, comes every year. It is celebrated on no moon day or Amavasya in
the Kartik Hindu month that falls in the October to November duration.
This is a five day mega occasion marked by many festivities and rituals.
This is considered as custom to clean the house, purchase new clothing,
gift sweets, jewelry and dry fruits and exchange Diwali Gifts. There
are various new products in the market and there is no shortage of
products to select from. However, instead of providing any tangible
gift, it would be a great idea to send a gift card. Many companies also
provide festival related gift vouchers nowadays This is a great event of
happiness which is indicated by rich food aroma as well as fragrances
of different agarbatti, chandan, agarbatti and dhoop used during special
pujas. Of course, fire-crackers used to play a great role in Diwali
celebrations as well. But nowadays, these have become a great headache
due to pollution. Without them, Diwali was not considered as complete.
Lighting up every part of the house and its surrounding areas with
candles, diyas and electric bulbs creates a bright ambience and colorful
view. Diwali is believed to provide us the light of knowledge as well
as save all from the shadow of ignorance.
