Experiencing Diwali with Goodwill

Experiencing Diwali with Goodwill

Diwali is India's biggest and most important holiday of the year where

we light outside our homes to symbolize the inner light that protects us

from spiritual darkness. Indians celebrate Diwali for varied reasons - In

north India, Diwali is celebrated to welcome King Rama to Ayodhya

after he defeated Ravana. In South India, it is the day to celebrate

Lord Krishna’s victory over the demon Narakasura.

The celebration usually involves lighting lamps and distributing sweets

which are a usual custom but the unique custom of Diwali -” The

festival of lights” is bursting crackers and fireworks that illuminate the

land and sky.
