Dipavali Festival
Dipavali is basically a Sanskrit language word. Dipa means lamps (Its not an electrical lamp, it is made up of sand clay in which oil is poured and in which cotton is dipped into it and lighted), and avali means Rows. Thus both forms Dipavali, meaning rows of lamps.
Dipavali is celebrated in the happiness of return of Ram, son of Ayodhya king Dasarath after completing 14 years of exile (Vanvas) in wild forests and victory over Ravana. On this day whole country celebrates Dipavali by lightening houses with clay pots.
Now a days people are forgetting the reason for Dipavali Celebrations, the youngers are not grasping this knowledge which is a very very important to know, how evil was defeated and good won. Now a days people burn crackers and enjoy seeing it but it is nothing but creation of pollution and waste of wealth. The good way to celebrate is rows of lightening, new clothes, and sweets.
If really people wants to enjoy crackers, one way is all should gather at some big open place and enjoy the crackers for sometime. This will make decrease in pollution very highly, increases relation ship as all meets at one place and also saves wealth which can be used for some better use.
Happy Dipavali to all, celebrate Dipavali without cracker.
