Diwali is the festival of lights which falls in the month of 'Ashwin' according to Hindu calendar. "Deepawali" in Hindi means a row of diyas.
Diwali is a five day festival in India. Dhanteras is the first day of Diwali. On this day people buy jewellary , silver and coins. On the second day , Roop Chaudas people bath with uptoan. On the third and the main Diwali day idols of Ganesha and Lakshmi are worshiped (Lakshmi puja). On this day Kali Puja performed in Bengal. Skies are full of blooms of creckers. The night of amavasya is transformed into Purnima by glory of diyas. Fourth day is celebrated as new year according to Hindu calendar. Bhaiya dhuj which is celebrated on fifth day glorifies love between a brother and a sister.
It is celebrated when Lord Ram , Sita and Lakshman returned to Ayodhya after 14 years of exile. People of Ayodhya welcomed them with lighted oil lamps. That is why it is called the 'Festival of Lights'. Every year on the day of Diwali we celebrate and pay respect to the Goddess Lakshmi. People also make mud houses in which they keep the Goddess of Wealth and pray. Few days before Diwali we go to buy crackers such as rockets, bombs, flower pots and sparklers etc.
We start our Diwali evening by praying. Next we decorate our house with candles, thanking God for all he has given us. It looks beautiful when the oil lamps twinkle together in all the houses. Then late at night we get together and light the crackers. There is a lot of noise and air pollution. Then we have a small party where we eat and enjoy.
