"Diwali" - the "festival of lights" is celebrated on the no moon day i.e. Amavasya in the month of Karthika. This year it falls on 30th October 2016. On this day whole of India celebrates Diwali by worshipping the Goddess Maha Lakshmi with Rupee coins, Flowers, and Kumkum with great devotion and dedication. On this Diwali evening, my family wear new white cotton dresses and worship Goddess Maha Lakshmi with Jasmine flowers, Rupee Coins, and with Aaravali Kumkum(by chanting 108 names of Mahalakshmi Devi) and decorate the house with different Rangolis, flowers, and lights.
