What is synonymous with Diwali in people’s mind? Undoubtedly, lights, firecrackers and sweets!
Since Diwali is a Festival of Lights, people – especially youngsters – feel a lot of excitement and joy in letting off bright fireworks of various shapes, sizes and colors. Fireworks are a way of showing the Gods in Heaven that the people on Earth are very happy with the blessings that the Almighty has bestowed upon them in life. Seeing their obvious happiness, the Gods feel happy as well and they would keep bestowing their favors and showering prosperity on the people so that their happy lives may continue without any hindrance. A practical benefit of the fireworks is the smoke that they emanate which is beneficial for killing pests, insects and mosquitoes which are usually found aplenty in this season in India.
Anyone who sees a large Indian city from a high rise apartment or a high storey in a five star hotel on the night of Diwali Gifts, will get a beautiful view of the night sky lit up with multiple roman candles or ‘rockets’, sparklers, ‘flower pots’ and ‘charkhis.’
It is of course very important to exercise the highest standards of safety and precaution when playing with firecrackers and one should not play with fireworks except under strict adult supervision. One should not wear very loose items of clothing or even extremely tight or synthetic/ nylon or silk clothes when playing with firecrackers. Well-fitting cotton clothes which fully cover the body and thus afford maximum protection should be chosen whether one is himself bursting firecrackers or not since the outdoors are full of bursting firecrackers anyway.

On the fourth day of Diwali, Bali who had been banished to Patala by Lord Vishnu – the Preserver in the Holy Trinity – went to the place ordained for him by Vishnu. This is the Kartika Shudda Padyami. The fifth day is Bhai Dooj or Yama Dvitiya when sisters invite their brothers over and the sacred bond between brothers and sisters is celebrated again – just like it is on the sacred occasion of Rakshabandhan.
The global popularity of Diwali can be gauged from the fact that the day of Deepawali is an official holiday not only in India but also in Surinam, Trinidad and Tobago, Mauritius, Fiji, Malyasia, Singapore, Guyana, Myanmar, Sri Lanka and of course in the Hindu majority nation of Nepal – the only Hindu majority nation in the world apart from India.

This year, Dhanteras is on 11th of November and Diwali is on 13th of November 2012.

It is said that the amavasya night of Diwali is one of the darkest nights in the year when the world could no longer accept the pain of the wrongful banishment of Lord Rama to the forest. On this darkest of nights, after 15 long years when Rama keeps his word to his elders like He always does, He finally returns to his rightful abode after vanquishing the evil Ravana who in a symbolic manner was spreading darkness across the world.
