Diwali is derived from the Sanskrit fusion word Dīpāvali, formed from dīpa ( “light” or “lamp”) and āvalī( “series, line, row”). Dīpāvali or Deepavali thus meant a “row” or “series of lights”. It is also a festival of colorful rangoli designs.
Each of the four days in the festival of Diwali is separated by a different tradition, but what remains true and constant is the celebration of life, its enjoyment and goodness.
