Thursday, October 15, 2009

This month's festival is Diwali. This is celebrated across India to mark the win of truth over darkness and bad.

Thus everyone light up their homes with Diyas and mark the day with the Lakshmi pooja. The festival of lights is celebrated for two days according to the Hindu calender.

The day before the Diwali is called the Naraka Chaturdasi, the day on which the Narakasura has been killed by Satyabhama the wife of Lord Krishna.
This festival is the 4th largest festival in India with most of the houses celebrating by acquiring not just new clothes but also many other new materials.
Generally all the homes believe in buying Gold, new automobiles, cell phones in trend with the new generation patterns.
A lot of sweets and hots are made at homes. Children buy crackers and blast them after the lakshmi pooja is done in the evening.
