As Festive 2023 starts twinkling across autumnal skies, and the most auspicious occasions of Indians is here before long, can luminous baubles be far behind?
Many moons ago, not celestial bodies but simple lights guided Lord Rama home on Diwali. As Ayodhya prepared to receive the Crown Prince after a fourteen-year exile, its people lit up a dark Amavasya night sky with the glow of thousands of diyas arranged in rows.
Hence Deepavali, literally meaning, a row of lights in Sanskrit switches on the Festival of Lights across the world. Each of the auspicious days, Dhanteras, Chhoti Diwali, Lakshmi Puja, Govardhan Puja and Bhai Dooj lend their own significance and are observed amidst rituals rich with meaning and cultural resonance.
Come November, Indians will get set to welcome a fortnight of revelry starting with Karva Chauth. This phase is believed to be auspicious to start new ventures to open the doors to prosperity or acquire valuables to signal success.
