Note 1: Diwali is perhaps the most popular of all Hindu festivals, also known as the Festival of Lights, it is dedicated to the Goddess Kali in Bengal and to Lakshmi, the Goddess of Wealth, in the rest of India. As with several other festivals, Diwali is associated with one of the stories about the destruction of evil by Vishnu in one of his many manifestations.

Note 2: What may be the reason, what may be the rituals, Diwali today is a huge occasion that is celebrated all over INDIA, unifying all caste, status and religions of people in a festive mood, rejoicing the endless aura of light and vibrant colors. Being a part of DIWALI and enjoying every aspect of its lucid simplicity and rich vigor makes one feel more enthusiastic and charged up to work harder and look ahead for next year’s excitement.
