What is Diwali?
Diwali is a holy traditional festival celebrated in India, Sri Lanka, Fiji and most of Nepal. It is also called as Deepavali, Devali or Divali. Also referred to as “Festival of Light”, it signifies triumph of light over darkness.It is celebrated by the Indians all over the world.
The history of Diwali is connected with Rama- Ravana War (Between India and Sri Lanka). Ravana Was a demon king who was doing lot evil things. Lord Rama had to go to Forest for 14 years to full fill a promise his father given to his third wife. As per the story King Dasarath promised his third wife that she can ask 2 boons at any time of life from him and if it is under his ability he will fulfill that request. When she came to know that King Dasarath is going to crown Lord Rama as king she asked the two boons. One of the boon was to send Lord Rama to forest for 14 years and another one is to make her son as the King.
King Dasarath was in big mental tension when he here this. However when Lord Rama Came to know about this he himself went to forest along with his wife and another brother to forest. Demon king Ravana has kidnaped Ramas wife. So rama build a bridge to Srilanka (Adam's Bridge) and defeated Demon king Ravana.
By that time he has completed 14 years in forest and he decided to return to Ayodya to take over the kingdom from his brother (Third queens son), who was ruling the kingdom by keeping lord ramas foot wear on the throne. He was so upset by his mothers cunning act and requested lord Rama to come back and take over the kingdom before, which has been refused by Lord rama siting their father's promise is bigger than ruling the kindom.
When People of Ayodya came to know that Lord Rama is returning they welcomed him lighting lamps all over the kingdom. Then onwards that day is celebrated as Diwali by lighting lamps all over the place.
People throughout in India, regardless of age and classes, celebrate this holy festival with equal enthusiasm and zeal. Diwali Festival involves putting on new clothes and participating in different activities related to it. On Diwali it is normal to send Diwali greetings to Relatives and friends. You can find some best Diwali messages on internet, search for some good Diwali wallpaper to use as canvas to make a great diwali card by yourself
Diwali (Deepawali) usually falls on 'Amavasyaa' day (which is typically between the month of October and November). As part of the celebration, people are illuminating their homes by lighting a tiny oil lamp, mostly known as “Diyas”. They also decorate their homes with lovely rangoli arts with colorful designs.
Happy Diwali to you and your family
Let us celebrate the victory of Lord Rama
Over Demon King Ravana
The god will be always the Victor
Happy Diwali
Another Diwali has come
To celebrate the holy day
The day when God has
defeated the Evil
Happy Diwali
