dark half of the lunar month
Ashvina to the second day of the light half of the lunar month
Karttika. (The corresponding dates in the Gregorian
calendar usually fall in late October and November.) The
name is derived from the Sanskrit term dipavali, meaning
“row of lights.” The festival generally symbolizes the victory of
light over darkness.
During the festival, diyas are mini clay lamps
lit and placed in rows along the parapets of temples
and houses and set adrift on rivers and streams to
light the way of Hindu goddess of wealth Lakshmi.
Homes are decorated, and floors inside and out are
covered with rangoli, consisting of elaborate
designs made of colored rice, sand, or flower
petals. The doors and windows of houses are kept
open in the hope that Lakshmi will find her way
inside and bless the residents with wealth and
success.
