Deepawali
The
festival of lights is one of the most beautiful of Indian festivals. It comes
21 days after Dussehra and celebrates the return of Lord Rama to Ayodhya after
his 14 year exile. Homes are decorted, sweets are distributed by everyone and
thousands of lamps lit in houses all over the country making it a night of enchantment.
Doorways are hung with torans(a decorative garland for the door) of mango leaves
and marigolds. Rangolis (designs on floor) are drawn with different coloured
powders to welcome guests. Worship of Goddess Lakshmi, the goddess of wealth,
and fireworks and festivites are an essential part of the occasion.
