Diwali, the festival of lights, is celebrated on the new moon of Krishna Paksha of Kartik month. This year this festival will go on Thursday, November 4, 2021. There is a law to worship Goddess Lakshmi and Ganesha on Diwali. This year, due to the presence of four planets in the same zodiac, a rare coincidence is also being made on Diwali. Diwali is observed as a Gazetted Holiday throughout the nation.
Although, there are no official records stating the origin of Diwali; among many legends about this festival, one thing is common: the triumph of good over evil.
It would be apt to say that different parts of the nation celebrate this day for different reasons. The northern part of India observes this day as the occasion when Lord Rama along with his wife Sita, brother Lakshman and Hanuman, returned to Ayodhya after defeating the demonic king Ravana. Since the night they came back was a no-moon day (amavasya) that is why people light earthen pots on the night of Diwali. On the other hand, South Indians celebrate the occasion as the day when Lord Krishna defeated the demon Narakasura. Further, it is believed that Lord Vishnu and Goddess Lakshmi tied the knot on this day. Alternate legends also claim that Goddess Lakshmi was born on the new moon day of Kartik month.
