The significance of Diwali is the removal of darkness and ignorance from the mind and filing it with goodness.
Every year, the spectacular and bedazzling festival of Diwali is celebrated by Indians all over the world at the end of Ashwin month (between September and October) with its festivities continuing till the beginning of Kartika month (between October and November) based on the auspicious Hindu calendar. Unlike most Indian festivals, the vivacious festival of Diwali is not just a one-day fiesta, but its revelry continues for five days. The festival of lights, as it is lovingly known, inspires people to believe in the power of good and signifies that no matter how dark the night gets, the light of a single lamp can enlighten one’s path. The words of Shakespeare “see yea that light yonder so shines a good deed in a naughty world” rightly summarize the purpose of this festival.
