Diwali

Description

Diwali (also spelled Devali in certain regions) or Deepavali popularly known as the "festival of lights", is an important festival in Hinduism, celebrated for different reasons, occurring between mid-October and mid-November. For Hindus, Diwali is one of the most important festivals of the year and is celebrated in families by performing traditional activities together in their homes. For Jains, Diwali marks the attainment of moksha or nirvana by Mahavirain 527 BC.

Importance

The name "Diwali" is a contraction of "Deepavali" (Sanskrit: दीपावली Dīpāvalī), which translates into "row of lamps". Diwali involves the lighting of small clay lamps (diyas or dīpas) in Sanskrit: दीप) filled with oil to signify the triumph of good over evil. During Diwali, celebrants wear new clothes and share sweets and snacks with family members and friends.

Diwali Magic
 

The lights are bright, the colours explode 
Feel the magic of Diwali unfold; 
A time to spare moment of thought 
For the Gods whose gifts we all have sought. 

This is the season to love and be loved,
A time when all are one;
Spread the word, there is love for all
There is a God, we are his sons.

Wear your finery, dress your best,
Diwali is a time for bliss;
With a prayer on your lips and love in your heart 
This is a day you just can’t miss!
