Diwali, the Festival of Lights is a five-day festival that begins with Dhanteras, followed by Naraka Chaturdashi. The main celebration occurs on the third day, when families perform Lakshmi Puja, inviting prosperity and happiness into their homes. On the day of Diwali, diyas (lamps) are lit, and vibrant rangolis adorn doorways, symbolizing the victory of light over darkness. The festivities continue with Bhai Dooj, on the fifth day, honouring the bond between brothers and sisters. As families gather to share sweets, exchange gifts, and illuminate their surroundings, Diwali becomes a time of joy, reflection, and togetherness, celebrated by millions across India and the world.
