Diwali 2021 | Diwali Puja Vidhi

Diwali, also known as Deepavali, begins on Thursday, November 4, 2021, with dwadashi and ends with Saturday, November 6, 2021, with Bhau Beej. It is the Hindu autumn festival of lights, which is observed by Hindus all around the world. Diwali begins with Dhanteras and ends with Bhaiya Dooj, the exact date of which is set by the Hindu calendar; the major night of the Diwali celebration falls on Amavasya, the new moon night of the Kartika month. The triumph of light over darkness, the forces of good over evil, and knowledge over ignorance is symbolic meaning of Deepavali celebration.

 

Significance Of Diwali

Diwali's spiritual significance is to awaken individuals to their own inner selves. In Hindu philosophy, there’s a genuine persona called the Atman that exists beyond the body and consciousness of a human being. It is real, limitless, and immortal. The Diwali festival commemorates the triumph of positive impulses over bad tendencies within man, and it is held to rid people of darkness or ignorance. While the Diwali legends differ, the basic goal of the Deepawali holiday is to awaken our Inner Soul.

 

How To Celebrate Diwali

People start cleaning, painting, and decorating their houses and offices a month before Diwali. It is thought that all living places should be invigorated in preparation for the arrival of Goddess Lakshmi on Diwali night.

People are rushing to stores and shopping malls to take advantage of Diwali promotional bargains and offers. Kitchens are buzzing with activity as karanji, laddu, barfi, sankarpali, and nimkis, among other Diwali sweets and delicacies, are produced.

On Diwali evening, people dress up in their best attire and gather with their families around the house to burn diyas and candles. When it's time for Diwali puja, silver coins, panchamrit, and Diwali sweets are offered to Mahalakshmi, the Goddess of Wealth and Prosperity.

People give Diwali mithais to their neighbours, family, and friends after the puja. Children and teenagers take to the streets to light fireworks and enjoy the show of lights and sound. The whole country is in a celebration spirit on Diwali night, with individuals lighting up their homes with diyas to welcome Goddess. Crackers are lit during this event to ward off bad powers, according to common belief.
