Diwali
Diwali is a main Hindu festival which is known as the “Festival of Lights”. It makes the victory of
good over evil. In other words, lights are symbols of victory of brightness over darkness. People in India
turn on lamps in every house and watch firecrackers in the night sky. These lights are a way showing honor
to the gods of India for giving the people health, knowledge, riches and peace.
On the day of Diwali, children get up at 3:00 a.m. and take a bath. They dress up in festival clothes,
light up the candles and share sweets. There is competition among the children to light the first firecracker
and to make the loudest noise. Soon, the whole sky is bright. Children seem to have the most fun during this
festival.
The festival is usually between October and November, with the date changing each year. Mythical tales shared
on Diwali vary widely depending on region and even within Hindu tradition, yet all share a common focus on
righteousness, self-inquiry and the importance of knowledge, which, according to Lindsey Harlan, an Indologist
and scholar of Religious Studies, is the path to overcoming the "darkness of ignorance". The telling of these
myths are a reminder of the Hindu belief that good ultimately triumphs over evil.
