Heart It
The word Diwali is actually derived from the Sanskrit word
"Deepavali", which translated means "row of lamps". Diwali known as the
"Festival of Lights", is the biggest festival of the year in India. It
is a festival that illuminates the darkness from life, marks the
beginning of a new year and strengthens close friendships and knowledge.
Here are some places in India to celebrate Diwali.
Delhi
Diwali
in Delhi starts from Dussehra itself. Visit any market place and you
will find banners and placards everywhere. The major commercial centres
of Delhi get packed with shoppers and shopping offers. People start to
splurge on new dresses, gifts, fruits, sweets and firecrackers for the
preparation of Dhanteras and the Diwali. On the day of Diwali, you will
come across several temporary stages hosting the "Ramlila", a dramatic
depiction of the life of Lord Ram, culminating with the 10-days battle
between Ram and Ravan.
Haridwar and Varanasi
Celebrating Diwali in Haridwar and
Varanasi can be an ideal suggestion. As the evening sky grows darker,
the devotees throng the Ghats on this major Hindu festival to light
diyas before leaving them on the river to float, which has long been the
tradition.
