Celebrating Diwali involves a rich tapestry of traditions, with common elements like lights, fireworks, feasting, and prayers, reflecting diverse regional customs across India.
Diwali, derived from 'Deepavali', signifies a row of lights symbolizing the triumph of light over darkness, with unique variations in celebration across regions.
In southern India, the early morning warm oil bath is a significant custom, representing both physical and spiritual purification akin to bathing in the Ganges.
Gambling during Diwali is rooted in the belief that it brings prosperity for the year ahead, alongside traditions of purchasing gold and lighting firecrackers.
