Diwali : Festival of Lights - 12 November2012

Thursday, August 30, 2012


Deewali is the best-known of the Hindu festivals, It is celebrated throughout India, at the New Moon on the fifteenth day of the month Kartika, or Ashwin (october/november), as well as in Indian communities throughout the world. It is known as the "festival of lights", for people traditionally light small oil lamps (called diyas) and place them around the home, in courtyards, verandahs and gardens, as well as on roof-tops and outer walls. A harvest festival and a celebration of the Lunar New Year, Diwali has strong astrological energies, like similar festivals the world over.

The celebration of Diwali happens this year on November 12, 2004. It always features the exchange of sweets and the enjoyment of fireworks, but basically, this is a seasonal, astrological festival marking the transition from the old lunar year to the new in Hindu India. Diwali (from the sanskrit: deepaavali, meaning "a garland of lamps"), is the perfect description of this marvellous Indian festival of lights. In North India, the lamps are lit to remind us of Lord Rama's return from fourteen years in exile to his kingdom of Ayodhya after conquering the tyrant Ravana, who had abducted his wife Sita and held her in his island fortress of Lanka.




दीवाली दीपों के त्यौहार के नाम से जाना जाता है | इस दिन श्रीराम जी लंका पर विजय प्राप्त कर चौदह वर्ष का वनवास पूरा करके अयोध्या लौटे थे | तब प्रजा ने प्रभु के आने की ख़ुशी में दीपोत्सव मनाया था, जो की एक परंपरा के रूप में हर साल मनाया जाता है | दीपावली कार्तिक की अमावस की रात को मनाई जाती है, यह दिन अँधेरे पर उजाले की विजय का प्रतीक माना जाता है | दीवाली भारत के हर प्रान्त में बड़े धूमधाम से मनाई जाती है |
दीवाली के दिन लक्ष्मी गणेश पूजन का विशेष महत्व है, जो की भारत में दीवाली के दिन घर-घर में की जाती है | इस दिन लोग एक दूसरे को उपहार देते हैं, पटाखे फोड़ते हैं और खुशियाँ मनाते हैं | इस प्रकार दीवाली हमारे देश का एक विशेष त्यौहार है |
