We love seeing the streets of Little India<\/a> come alive during Deepavali<\/a> (or Diwali). Everyone dresses to the nines in their gorgeous lehengas and kurtis<\/a>. For those celebrating, you know you\u2019re going to stuff yourself with delish Indian<\/a> food and sink your teeth into sweet treats<\/a>. But before you join in the festive activities, do you know the meaning behind the Festival of Lights? We sat down for a chat with Suraen Ramadass, programmes manager at the Indian Heritage Centre, to discover the lore of the Hindu festival, how it\u2019s celebrated, visiting etiquette and more.<\/p>\n

Deepavali for first-timers: All you need to know<\/h2>\n

Let\u2019s start from the beginning: How did Deepavali come about?<\/h3>\n

There are actually two main stories associated with the festival. There’s one of Lord Krishna and his battle with the demon Narakasura, and a tale based on the Ramayana epic (one of the largest ancient epics in world literature!). It\u2019s about Lord Rama, a prince who was exiled as a result of his stepmother’s plot against him.<\/p>\n

\u201cBoth stories celebrate the triumph of good over evil and light over darkness. That\u2019s why we light up our diyas (oil lamps): to celebrate the warmth, light, and brightness together with the community,\u201d Suraen says. Lighting the oil lamps also represents enlightenment, prosperity, knowledge, and wisdom.<\/p>\n

Who celebrates Deepavali?<\/h3>\n

\u201cDeepavali is celebrated mainly by the Hindu community. It\u2019s also celebrated by Jains and Sikhs,\u201d Suraen tells us. Each religion observes Deepavali a little differently. For example, North Indians call it Diwali while South Indians say Deepavali. But the core symbolism of light over darkness remains. If you\u2019ve ever been confused by the terminology, now you know the difference.<\/p>\n

How do Hindus celebrate Deepavali?<\/h3>\n

The lead-up to Deepavali can be a pretty eventful one. First, there’s the rush of getting outfits tailored in time. Next, you have to get the house ready by stocking up on Deepavali treats and decking out your abode in vibrant decor. Don’t forget a grand meal for loved ones!<\/p>\n

Each of the five days is special. They’re hallmarks of significant events such as the slaying of Narakasura and the day of worship for Goddess Lakshmi and Lord Ganesha. And because Goddess Lakshmi is the Goddess of Wealth, some believe buying gold or jewellery will invite her blessing. Yes, it’s considered auspicious to shop! When visiting friends and family, it’s also customary to exchange gifts and sweets. Oil lamps, candles and even fire sparklers are lit.<\/p>\n

Hindus start the day bright and early by having an oil bath. That’s when the oldest member of the family places drops of oil on your forehead before a bath. Some families head to the temple for prayers before visiting friends and family. Jains observe two days of fasting to remember the sacrifice of Mahavira, a supreme preacher of Jainism. Meanwhile, Sikhs may choose to make a pilgrimage to the Golden Temple, the most important pilgrimage site in the religion.<\/p>\n

Any common misconceptions about Deepavali?<\/h3>\n

Deepavali isn\u2019t actually a celebration of the New Year, which is a common belief amongst those who don\u2019t celebrate it. \u201cMost Indian communities celebrate the New Year in April, and that’s a different festival.\u201d Suraen clarifies.<\/p>\n

What preparations are done to welcome guests?<\/h3>\n

As with any festival, homes are spruced up to celebrate the festivities. For Deepavali, oil lamps and candles are the decor of choice. Or a couple of fairy or string lights for a modern touch. If you\u2019re lucky, you might see intricate rangoli designs with coloured powder outside the home. But rangoli stickers are just as beautiful.<\/p>\n

Of course, the act of hospitality never goes unnoticed. You’ll get tons of Deepavali goodies to munch on while you\u2019re visiting. \u201cIt\u2019s customary to not leave the guest empty-handed, so usually they\u2019ll be offered a drink or a meal,\u201d Suraen shares.<\/p>\n

The dos and don\u2019ts of Deepavali<\/h3>\n

The festival is all about colours and light. If you\u2019re visiting someone\u2019s home, steer clear of black or dark colours. Some traditional households may opt for a vegetarian diet on Deepavali and abstain from alcohol. So if you\u2019re planning to get a gift, avoid bringing booze.<\/p>\n

However, other families may not be a stickler for the rules. As Suraen recommends, “check in with the families celebrating, because each family celebrates Deepavali in a unique way.” Simply ask your Hindu friends what\u2019s appropriate and your hosts will be happy to advise.<\/p>\n

How to join in the festivities<\/h3>\n

For such festive occasions, the more the merrier! We love going all in to experience different cultures. So, where do you begin? Start by dressing the part. But the last thing you want to do is commit a cultural fashion faux pas.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you want to wear the Indian attire, you\u2019re more than welcome to as long as it\u2019s respectfully worn,\u201d Suraen advises. \u201cThere are certain ways the attire is traditionally worn. Ladies can wear Indian outfits such as sarees and Punjabi suits; for guys, kurta and pants… If you\u2019re not sure, check in with a friend or someone who knows how to wear it and what the nuances behind it are.\u201d<\/p>\n

Now that you know the origins of Deepavali and its significance, head out and celebrate the festival with your Hindu friends!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
