Diwali - "Festival Of LIGHTS" - Event Aug 31st to Oct 31st

Diwali- "Festival Of LIGHTS" is the most popular festival of Hinduism, Jainism and Sikhism, celebrated for different reasons, occurring between mid-October and mid-November. 


The name "Diwali" which translates into "Row Of Lamps". Diwali involves the lighting of small slay lamps filled with oil to signify the triumph of good over evil. 

The festival starts with Dhanteras on which most Indian business communities begin their financial year. The second day of the festival, Naraka Chaturdasi, marks the vanquishing of the demon Naraka by Lord Krishna and his wife Sayabhama. Amavsya, the third day of Deepawali, marks the worship of Lakshmi, the goddess of wealth in her most benevolent mood, fulfilling wishes of her devotees. Amavasya also tells the story of  Lord Vishnu, who is the dwarf incarnation vanquished the Bali, and banished him to Patala. It is on the fourth day of Deepawali, Katika Shudda Padyami, that Bal went to  Patala and took reins of his new kingdom in there. The fifth day is reffed as Yama Dvitiya, and on this day sisters invite their brothers to their homes.

Lets go back to the Event .........
During Diwali, all the celebrants wear new clothes and share  sweets and snacks with family members and friends. So I thought why not make sweets and snacks with all my fellow bloggers.
So why waiting for the beautiful day.....as we know we all make sweets and snacks before a week or two or whenever we have time....I thought we can make and share the recipes and help out others who don't know how to make or who are searching to try new recipes all at one stop place......HERE...... :)
So let's share and celebrate Diwali together..........
