Citizen’s Journal wishes an illuminating Deepavali

Deepavali, the Festival of Lights, is a vibrant and joyous celebration symbolizing the triumph of light over darkness and good over evil.

Families gather to mark the victory of knowledge over ignorance, signifying a fresh start. Celebrated on the 12th of November this year, Deepavali holds deep cultural and spiritual significance.

One of the most common legends associated with Deepavali is the return of Lord Rama, Sita, and Lakshmana to Ayodhya after defeating the demon king Ravana. The people of Ayodhya celebrated by lighting oil lamps, symbolizing the victory of good over evil and the dispelling of darkness.

Another significant legend involves the Goddess Lakshmi, the Hindu Goddess of wealth and prosperity. On Deepavali night, it is believed that she visits well-lit, clean, and welcoming homes, bringing good fortune and wealth

Deepavali is not just a festival; it’s a time for families to come together, share joy, and create lasting memories. The lighting of lamps, bursting of fireworks, and sharing of sweets are integral parts of the celebration.

The warmth of the festive glow symbolizes the triumph of positivity, dispelling negativity from our lives. The festival transcends borders, bringing communities together to share in the spirit of hope and happiness

Citizen’s Journal extends heartfelt gratitude to our readers for their continuous support. As Deepavali approaches, we wish everyone an illuminating and meaningful celebration, both in Malaysia and around the world. Let the light of Deepavali shine upon our paths, leading us to a better, kinder, and more loving world.
