Diwali is one such Indian festival that provides a tremendous opportunity of celebrations. It is known as the “ festival of lights” which is celebrated on the day of Amavasya- the darkest new moon night of the Hindu month of Kartik. On this day, people worshipped Goddess Lakshmi, as she is considered as a symbol of wealth and prosperity. Her origin lies in the Samudra Manthan. Hence, Goddess Lakshmi came to be associated with Diwali because many people perform Lakshmi Puja on the festival to receive wealth and prosperity.
