Guest guest Posted November 10, 2001 Report Share Posted November 10, 2001 Wishing you all a wonderful Deepavali on 14 November with joyous blessings. Deepavali from: http://www.andhratoday.com/festival/deepa.htm DEEPAVALI -The Festival of Lights Deepavali, the festival of lights, comes close on the heels of Dasara. It is a festival that marks the victory of good over evil. Deepavali means a "row of lights", and it brings along with it glowing happiness and the touch of sparklers all around. In India, Deepavali is synonymous with the nightly bursting of fire- crackers and the beautiful decoration of the houses with earthenware lamps which is a feast for the eyes. THE LEGEND SIGNIFICANCE CELEBRATIONS Over the years, there seems to be a change in the perception of life styles of people and they are growing conscious of possessing new acquisitions. Another change is that traditional earthenware lamps and candles are slowly being replaced by electrical lighting. Deepavali is indeed a much awaited festival in India for the sheer joy and happiness of exchanging gifts, decorating their houses and the fun and excitement of bursting fire crackers by the young and old alike. http://www.andhratoday.com/festival/deepa.htmDo You ?
