Diwali, the festival of lights celebrates the victory of good over evil, light over darkness and knowledge over ignorance. The 5-day festival, Diwali occurs on the 15th day of Kartika, the darkest night of the year.
Diwali is celebrated by performing puja and lighting lamps. It is only through lights that the beauty of this world can be revealed and experienced. Lights are lit not just to decorate homes, but also to communicate a profound truth about life. Darkness represents ignorance. Light dispels darkness. When the darkness within is dispelled with the light of wisdom, the good wins over evil. A lit diya symbolizes destruction of darkness and negative forces like greed, lust, fear, violence, injustice and wickedness, through knowledge.
