Today happens to be one of the most auspicious days for the world\u2019s second most populated country \u2013 India!<\/p><p>India is a large and diverse country comprising 29 states and 7 union territories, equalling a total of 36 entities, each with its\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/translatebyhumans.com\/blog\/linguistic-diversity-in-india\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\">regional languages<\/a>\u00a0and cultures. The most celebrated festival among the multicultural people of India and the Indian diaspora is Diwali or Deepawali in Sanskrit, literally meaning a row of lamps.\u00a0 Diwali is celebrated by Hindus, Jains, and Sikhs across the world, although the religious significance and practices may differ by region. The true spirit of Diwali is in the spiritual victory of light over darkness, good over evil and knowledge over ignorance.<\/p><p>Preparations and rituals begin two days before Diwali and continue two days after, with each day having its own significance. Diwali is on the third of the five auspicious days. On the last day of the fortnight, it is also the darkest night of the Hindu lunar calendar in the month of Kartik, which is typically between mid-October to mid-November.<\/p><p>Diwali is known as the festival of lights. Homes, offices, and shops are illuminated a few days before Diwali using diyas, which are small earthen containers that hold oil and a cotton wick, lit to drive away evil. Intricate patterns and designs are made using brightly coloured sand along with seasonal flower petals. The night sky is always full of fireworks in celebration of the festival!<\/p><p>Here is how the five-day-long festival is celebrated in different regions:<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a6118ef elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"a6118ef\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<style>\/*! elementor - v3.21.0 - 08-05-2024 *\/\n.elementor-heading-title{padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1}.elementor-widget-heading .elementor-heading-title[class*=elementor-size-]>a{color:inherit;font-size:inherit;line-height:inherit}.elementor-widget-heading .elementor-heading-title.elementor-size-small{font-size:15px}.elementor-widget-heading .elementor-heading-title.elementor-size-medium{font-size:19px}.elementor-widget-heading .elementor-heading-title.elementor-size-large{font-size:29px}.elementor-widget-heading .elementor-heading-title.elementor-size-xl{font-size:39px}.elementor-widget-heading .elementor-heading-title.elementor-size-xxl{font-size:59px}<\/style><h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Dhanteras<\/h3>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a8191df elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"a8191df\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>This is the thirteenth day of the fortnight and the first day of festivities.\u00a0<em>Dhan\u00a0<\/em>means wealth, and\u00a0<em>teras<\/em>\u00a0means thirteenth.
