Article
Rajasthan's Diwali Festival is a vibrant and colorful celebration that takes place annually in the desert state of India. This festival of lights, also known as Deepavali, is a time of joy and unity for the people of Rajasthan. Diwali marks the victory of light over darkness, good over evil, and knowledge over ignorance. This five-day festival is filled with various rituals, decorations, feasting, and fireworks. Homes and streets are adorned with diyas (clay lamps), colorful rangoli (intricate designs made with colored powders), and lights to welcome Goddess Lakshmi, the goddess of wealth and prosperity. The festival culminates with a grand fireworks display that lights up the night sky. Diwali is a time for families to come together, exchange gifts, and feast on traditional sweets and snacks.
