Diwali is one of the most awaited festivals of India. On this day, all the houses of the people are decorated and all the women are preparing for the celebrations by getting ready with their best outfits and beautiful hair accessories.
The main highlight of this festival is the process called “Diwali Puja”. This process basically involves a ceremony which is conducted to offer thanks to the Lord for his co-operation in letting the people celebrate this wonderful festival of lights.
The essence of the festival is the belief that Goddess Lakshmi is the founder of the universe and every human being is her offspring. People worship her in the form of candles, oil, flowers, incense, toys, and other objects at night. The Diwali lamps are lit at different places across the country at the beginning of the festival and the people dance and rejoice, to celebrate the joy of the Goddess. This is why the essence of the festival is happiness, cheerfulness, and bliss.
