In India, a festival is a set of celebrations in honour of Gods or Goddesses. Diwali in India is perhaps the only festival which turns into a 5 days long carnival here with its loads of grandeur and pageantry. Illuminating houses, lanes, roads and the whole city by lighting rows of earthen lamps and colorful light bulbs, bursting firecrackers, magnificent fireworks-all mark the carnivalesque way of Diwali celebration.

The festival of lights has mythological significance with some popular legends associated with this. The most popular myths among all is the welcome ceremony for the return of Rama with Lakshman and Sita from their 14 years of exile in forest. As per the Hindu calendar that ceremony was held on an Amavasya or no moon day in the month of Kartik. So Kartik Amavasya is considered to be the perfect day of celebrating Diwali. Lighting diyas signifies driving away the darkness of Amavasya. The exact day of Diwali is mainly decided by the position of the moon. According to the English calendar Diwali normally comes in the month of November or December.

This year Diwali falls on October 17, Saturday. Diwali Lakshmi puja is also on the same day and Bhai Dooj is on October 19.

Diwali in India has different colors and different significance in various parts of this country. In north India, the myth of Rama is associated with this festival. Southern part of India celebrates Diwali following the legend of the demolition of the demon Narakasur by Lord Krishna and Satyabhama, wife of Krishna. In West Bengal Diwali is commemorated with Kali puja or worshiping of Goddess Kali. Legend says that the ferocious form of the Divine Mother demolished Raktabhija and many other demonic forces.
