Hindus commemorate Diwali every year to symbolise the triumph of good over evil, light over darkness, and joy over hopelessness. Deepavali, popularly known as the festival of lights, is celebrated with great fanfare throughout the nation. People perform puja, observe rituals, decorate their homes with diyas, rangoli, ornaments, and lights, enjoy delectable sweets and meals, dress in new traditional attire, and more. Hindu mythology states that Lord Ram returned to Ayodhya on Diwali after slaying Ravana and spending 14 years in exile. People make wishes for health, wealth, and prosperity to the gods Lakshmi, Ganesh, and Kubera as part of the festival of lights.
Dhanteras or Dhan Trayodashi marks the start of Diwali festivities, which last for five days, finishing with Bhai Dooj. On Govatsa Dwadashi, Diwali begins in Maharashtra one day earlier. As a result, the festivities will begin in Maharashtra on October 21. The five days of Diwali will start on October 22 and end on October 25, according to Drik Panchang.
