The Significance of Diwali
Diwali, also known as the Festival of Lights, is one of the most celebrated festivals in India. It is a five-day celebration that begins with Dhanteras, a day when people buy gold, silver, or utensils and worship the Gods for prosperity. The second day, Naraka Chaturdashi or Chhoti Diwali, marks the victory of light over darkness.
The main day of Diwali is dedicated to worshipping Lord Ganesha and Goddess Lakshmi, praying for wealth, happiness, and success. The fourth day is celebrated as Govardhan Puja, while the fifth day, Bhai Dooj, honors the bond between brothers and sisters, marked by the traditional Tika ceremony and exchange of gifts.
From Virat Kohli’s heartfelt blessings to Shubman Gill’s cheerful wishes, the cricket fraternity ensured that fans felt the festive joy through their messages. Their greetings not only reflected the unity and warmth of the sport but also added to the glow of Diwali celebrations across the nation.
