Diwali Rituals and Remedies: Diwali, also known as the Festival of Lights, is one of the most celebrated festivals in India, symbolizing the victory of light over darkness and good over evil. It marks the return of Lord Rama to Ayodhya after 14 years of exile and his victory over the demon king Ravana.
The festival also honors Goddess Lakshmi, the deity of wealth and prosperity and Lord Ganesha, the remover of obstacles. During this time, the Sun is transiting through Libra, which is the sign of Venus (Laxmi). Since the Sun is debilitated here, we light diyas and give back energy to the universe.
Now, let’s discuss some interesting diwali rituals and remedies to remove blockages from your life and welcome new energies.
