Also, Hinduism celebrates the acquisition of wealth and material prosperity through fair and legal means without harming one’s fellow inhabitants of the planet. Poverty is not considered a virtue and people are encouraged to better their prospects in life by dint of their hard work and intelligence. In such a practical culture which is not divorced from the day-to-day realities of life, it is natural that a festival be dedicated to the propitiation of the Goddess of Wealth Lakshmi. This festival – Diwali – is the most popular festival in the Hindu calendar and Bhai Dooj marks the start of Diwali festivities.

It is said that Goddess Parvati had gambled with Lord Shiva – who is one of the three Gods in the Hindu Holy Trinity – and Parvati blesses anyone who gambles and plays cards on the occasion of Diwali. The professional, business and trading classes of India make it a point to gamble on these occasions and consider it auspicious to do so. People are invited to one another’s houses in the evening for a game of cards accompanied with music, food, refreshments and revelry.

Material prosperity is not the only thing that is prayed for and celebrated on Diwali but overall well- being of our families – material prosperity, good health and physical well-being as well as wisdom and spiritual attainment and enlightenment, in other words spiritual wealth is also sought. On the day of Diwali, people go out with their families and shop for gold, silver, jewelry and precious or semi-precious metallic objects. It is considered auspicious to purchase metallic objects on Diwali.

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.
