Celebrating Diwali… 22K Gold Temple Jewelry Perfect For This Year’s “Festival of Lights”
Though technically religious, Diwali has become a cultural event in North America that’s celebrated with gift-giving, prayer, decadent cultural feasts, and quality time with family.
What Is Diwali?
Diwali — also known as the Indian “festival of lights,” Divali, or Deepavali — is a special holiday that celebrates the triumph of good over evil and represents the blessing of freedom and enlightenment. Lights are a major part of Diwali and it is mostly celebrated by followers of the Hindu, Sikh, and Jain faiths, and communities in the United Kingdom, United States, Australia, and elsewhere around the world regularly celebrate Diwali. However, the holiday is celebrated throughout India, Singapore, and several other South Asian countries as a national holiday, and many people outside these religions participate in Diwali celebrations, as well.
How Is Diwali Celebrated?
Because Diwali is celebrated by so many people worldwide, traditions are diverse, yet there are a few common themes, including the lighting of candles and the gathering of families. The name of the holiday is derived from the Sanskrit word dipavali, meaning “row of lights.” In most of India, Diwali consists of five days of celebrations instead of one. In other countries where people celebrate Diwali, typically celebrations only occur on the main day. During Diwali, families gather to exchange gifts and enjoy festive foods. Celebrants also light dozens of candles and clay lamps, called Diyas, to place in their homes and float on lakes to light up the dark night. Fireworks are also set off on the night of Diwali to ward off evil spirits.
In addition to lights, food, and family, another way people celebrate Diwali is by dressing up in their finest clothes and decorating their homes with oil lamps and candles. Those who celebrate the religious aspects of this holiday may also wear Diwali jewelry featuring Lakshmi, the goddess of prosperity.
