hello steemians,
Men and women, tired of working, want recreation. Festivals do this work. Dipawali is one these festivals. It is the main festival of the Hindus.
Dipawali is celebrated in the memory of Lord Ram Chandra's return to Ayodhya from exile of 14 years. The city was decorated in various ways including lamps and lights. Therefore, Dipawali is celebrated on this day.
Another reason is that Goddess Laxmi was freed from the prison of Raja Bali by Lord Vishnu. So in the honour of Goddess Laxmi Dipawali is celebrated with festive joy.Dipawali is celebrated on the Kartik Amavasya every year. Before this festival, houses are white-washed and decorated. On this day, Goddess Laxmi is worshipped. We worship the Goddess Laxmi at night. Tapers are burnt in rows. So it is called Dipawali. Now a days, electric bulbs are lighted in decorative ways. Every house looks beautiful in different lights. The Indian cities look like brides in ceremonial dresses.At the time of worship every one puts on new dress. Children look fine in their coloured clothes. Boys and girls burn crackers. Different types of crackers are burnt. Every where, the sounds of crackers are heard. The coloured sparks ight up the sky. Thus, worship of Goddess Laxmi is performed with great zeal and enthusiasm. The traders change their account-books on Dipawali. Thus traders start their business with new technics and high hopes. The people go to their relalives to greet them.The workers of every department get special rewards on the eve of Dipawali. Business is done from Dipawali to Dipawali. The cleanliness one at the time of Dipawali is of much importance. The damages done by rains e mended. The business of every thing takes speedy rolls. The burning of tapers ves out the darkness in hearts of men and women. They forget their quarrels.
