Indian calendar has almost each day as festival and it expects people to celebrate each day but some important festivals occupy an important place in the list. It is one of the four important festivals of the Indians. It further tells that people lighted candles and lights to welcome their Maharaja. The normal traders celebrate it bay performing Puja of Lakshmiji and Kuber. They start the new books next day.

Sikhs celebrate it as a day of Guru Deeksha and they decorate the main Gurudwaras very intensively. Deepawali festival mostly comes in the month of November. This is the time when farmers get time to clean and whitewash their houses. They perform Puja and plan for the next year.

Deepawali celebration has further addition to exchange gifts and costly presents. Some people play cards and gamble on this festival. They waste and spoil the glamour of the festival. Festivals are actually to facilitate pleasures after the tiresome and hectic life of business or agriculture.

Deepmala of candles or divas provide jobs to millions of people. It feeds the families of handicraft workers. The present celebrations are tarnished when we find very rotten sweets bean sold in the market and the consumers are exposed to all sorts of infections and health problems. There should be a strict supervision on the trade.

ADVERTISEMENTS:

Children enjoy Deepawali by burning crackers and bomb blasts of otash. The storage and manufacturing is mostly done in the city and quiet often the places catch fire and burn the nearby markets also. This is highly dangerous and deplorable. There should be a mass protest against this bad feature. This does note befit a struggling nature, which fights for every penny in the world of comparison and competition. Provision of gifts and sweets should be for poor’s and down-trodden. They wait for the day when people will have a merciful attitude for them also. This will be the most decent way to celebrate Deepawali and all the best prayers and blessings will be offered by the masses to the hearts full of mercy and love.
