Diwali, the festival of lights, is celebrated to commemorate Lord Ram’s homecoming after 14 years of exile. The biggest event in the Hindu calendar, Diwali is celebrated across India for various reasons. The celebrations last over 5 days and include worshipping of Goddess Lakshmi and Lord Ganesh.
Gold and gold articles play a huge role in Diwali celebrations across the country, and this is why:
- Gold articles are offered to Goddess Lakshmi, the goddess of wealth, to appease her. After offering valuables in prayer, devotees leave their doors open and decorate their doorways and windows with lamps or diyas. This is done in the hope to guide Goddess Lakshmi to their homes so that she may bless them with prosperity and wealth.
