Introduction
Diwali, or Deepavali, is a festival celebrated across India. It’s a time when people light lamps, decorate their homes, wear new clothes, eat sweets, and share gifts with family and friends.
The story behind Diwali is about Lord Ram returning home to Ayodhya with his wife, Sita, and brother, Laxman, after 14 years. People celebrated his return by lighting lamps to welcome him.
Significance
Diwali is about the victory of good over bad and light over darkness. It’s a day to spread happiness, love, and togetherness. In the evening, people pray to Goddess Lakshmi for good luck and prosperity.
Negatives of Diwali
Sometimes, firecrackers are used during Diwali, which causes pollution and noise. This can be harmful to people, animals, and plants. Firecrackers also release harmful gases, which are bad for the environment.
