The five days of Diwali this year will start on October 22 and will end on October 25 according to the Drik Panchang. Know all the details here:
Diwali is one of the popular and important festivals of Hinduism. It symbolizes the spiritual "victory of light over darkness, good over evil, and knowledge over ignorance". Celebrants get ready for Deepavali by cleaning, remodelling, and adorning their residences and places of business with rangolis and diyas. People perform worship ceremonies of Lakshmi, light fireworks, wear their best clothes and participate in family feasts where mithai (sweets) and gifts are exchanged.
The holiday is frequently linked to Sita and Rama, Vishnu, Krishna, Durga, Shiva, Kali, Hanuman, Kubera, Yama, Yami, Dhanvantari, or Vishvakarman, among many other regional traditions. It is also frequently associated with Lakshmi, the goddess of prosperity, and Ganesha, the god of wisdom and the remover of obstacles. In addition, it commemorates the day Rama, his wife Sita, and his brother Lakshmana, who had spent 14 years in exile after slaying the demon Ravana in Lanka, returned to their kingdom in Ayodhya.
Dhanteras and Bhai Dooj are the first and last days of the five-day Diwali celebrations. The five days of Diwali this year will start on October 22 and end on October 25 according to the Drik Panchang.
