An official holiday in India, the Diwali symbolizes the victory of good over evil. According to the Hindu almanac, Diwali is a five-day festival, which commences on the new moon day, which ends in the month of Ashwin, or the beginning of the Kartika month. This means that it begins on the 13th day of the dark half of Ashwin and ends on the 2nd day of the bright half of Kartika. The main day of Diwali differs as per the region the person comes from. Symbolism of Diwali During Diwali, cotton wicks are placed in diyas (or little lamps), filled with oil and lighted. This signifies the individual seeker trying to triumph over the evil forces residing within himself, by lighting the lamp of true knowledge inside his spiritual being. In India and also among many parts of Nepal, Buy this Oil Lamp Diwali is celebrated as the homecoming of Lord Rama after his 14-year Vanvaas (exile in OIL LAMP OR DIYA the forest) and triumph over Ravana, the demon King of Lanka. According to legend, the residents of Ayodhya (Rama’s birthplace) welcomed Rama home by lighting rows (avail) of lamps (dipa). Hence the name, "Dipavali". Over a period of time, the word, "Dipavali", changed to become "Diwali". But the name remains unchanged in South and East India and Nepal.
