Happy Diwali – The Story of Deepavali

Story of Deepavali

Let’s talk about the story of Deepavali.

Diwali, the Festival of Lights, is the greatest festival celebrated all over India. It projects the rich and glorious past of our country and teaches us to uphold the true values of life.

The word “Diwali” derives from the Sanskrit “Deepavali” — Deepa meaning light and Avali, meaning a row.

On Diwali day, home is awash with the orange glow of twinkling diyas (small earthen lamps) lit to welcome Lakshmi, the Goddess of wealth and prosperity.

We look upon it as the beginning of the business New Year, and invoke blessings of Lakshmi, the celestial consort of Lord Vishnu, with prayers.
