A Hindu festival. It means "row of lamps." It is held in early November, but the date changes every year. It is a festival to honor the goddess Lakshmi, and lamps are placed in temples and around town. It is believed that Lakshmi will bring good luck and wealth to houses where lamps are placed. For the Marwari people of India, this festival is equivalent to the New Year. Source: Encyclopaedia Britannica Concise Encyclopedia About Encyclopaedia Britannica Concise Encyclopedia Information |
