Colourful lights adorn every home, and with daylight comes a wave of joy, light, enthusiasm, happiness, and prosperity. Diwali symbolizes the triumph of justice over injustice, righteousness over iniquity, truth over falsehood, and light over darkness.
Today, villages and towns radiate festivity as people cheer all around. Light holds deep significance in Hindu tradition, symbolizing holiness against the darkness that embodies evil and negative energy. People celebrate by decorating their homes with lights to ward off negativity.
Light banishes darkness and negative forces, so homes glow with lights to dispel the shadows of the new moon.
Across the country, devotees gather to worship Goddess Kali, filling the day with rituals. In various places, people gather around mesmerizing Toran puja mandaps, draped like garlands of colourful lights.
