WHAT IS DIWALI?
As per Indian traditions, Diwali is a five-day celebration that starts with Dhanteras and ends with Bhai Dooj. Often. Diwali celebration also begins with Vasubaras, or Govatsa Dwadashi, in regional India. All five days of Diwali are completely celebrated with Diwali decorations, Diwali gifts, and Diwali lights, and every member of a family dresses up in new Diwali outfits.
This same tradition is followed in Diwali celebrations in the USA and also in Diwali celebrations in New York. People get dressed in classy Diwali outfits, and the city is lit up with beautiful Diwali lights. Wherever Indian American communities are settled in the USA, Diwali celebrations take place, and more recently, Joe Biden has also announced a Diwali celebration in the White House on October 24, 2022. We will learn more about the Diwali celebration in the USA in the future. First, let’s learn more about the five days of Diwali.
DHANTERAS
Dhanteras is the first day of Diwali, and this day is marked by the clearing of homes, properties, and business premises. People place and light up small earthen diyas all over their area. Goddess Lakshmi and Lord Ganesh are worshiped on this day in order to pray for wealth and prosperity. Goddess Lakshmi is also worshiped on the third day, which is similar to Dhanteras.
NARAK CHATURDASHI
However, the second day of Diwali is Narak Chaturdashi, which follows the legend of Lord Krishna, who killed the demon Narkasura on this day and freed 16,000 kidnapped and imprisoned princesses. This day of Diwali celebration is done by baking new sweets with dry fruits, semolina, flour, ghee, and milk. Naraka Chaturdashi is also known as Chhoti Diwali, i.e., small Diwali. On the same day, Hanuman Puja, Yama Deepam, and Roop Chaudas are also celebrated in regional parts of India.
LAKSHMI PUJA
On this day, people worship the gods and goddesses of wealth. Lakshmi symbolizes prosperity and wealth in a household. This Diwali celebration is similar to Dhanteras. However, this is more of a home celebration, whereas Dhanteras is more about worshiping wealth in your business and other ventures. The god of wealth, Kubera, is often worshiped. In eastern India, another incarnation of the goddess is prayed for, and that is Kali Maa. Thus, Kali Puja is celebrated instead of Lakshmi Puja in the states of West Bengal, Odisha, and Assam.
BALIPRATIPADA & GOVARDHAN PUJA
Two legends from Hindu traditions are focused on this same day of Diwali celebration. From the accounts of Vishnu Purana, Balipratipada is associated with an incarnation of Lord Vishnu as Vamana, who defeated King Bali. On the other hand, Govardhan Puja is celebrated in northern India on the account of Lord Krishna, who saved his community by lifting the mountain of Govardhan during a great flood.
BHAI DOOJ
Bhai Dooj is also called Bhau-Beej, and it is similar to another festival called Raksha Bandhan. It celebrates the sister-brother bond. One of the major legends behind this Diwali celebration is connected to the second day of Narak Chaturdashi, i.e., after defeating Narakasura, Lord Krishna came to his sister Subhadra’s home, and she welcomed him with a tilaka on his forehead.
