Shopping
Diwali shopping is a term in and of itself for a reason—new clothes, lights, crackers, gifts and treats, floral arrangements, and the list goes on. As if the preparations for the holiday weren't enough, the first day of dhanteras is entirely devoted to shopping.
This day is seen to be lucky for making a wise investment. While many people buy silver or gold coins or jewelry to mark the beginning of a successful period, others wait until this time to make major and important purchases like houses and cars.
Lighting Lamps and Diyas
A significant part of the diwali festival are earthenware diyas. the festival symbolizes illuminating one's inner self and emerging from the shadows. The festival's principles are represented by a happy house and neighborhood.
People also use hanging clay lamps, decorative lights, fragrant candles, and pyrotechnics to create a bright environment. Diwali beautifies everything in the home, from the tiniest nooks to the vast expanse of sky, and is guaranteed to make you feel better.
Ganesh-Laxmi Puja
The ganesh-laxmi puja is the focal point of this celebration. Households do laxmi puja to welcome prosperity, and prayers are offered to lord ganesha to signify an auspicious beginning.
Rangoli Making
A new year officially begins on diwali. To make this period more aesthetically pleasing and orderly, rituals are used. The entryway and courtyards are adorned with lovely rangoli designs as a spiritual gesture to welcome goddess Laxmi. Materials like colored rice, flour, and flower petals are used to make these patterns.
House cleaning
Cleaning the house before diwali is a time-honored custom. Indians think that the goddess lakshmi will only enter a clean home. This goes beyond simple housecleaning. Depending on your budget, decluttering, painting, and redecorating your home are also included.
