Happy Diwali

-
A Diwali festival usually lasts five days, with the third day being the main event. Dussehra is celebrated twenty days after this festival. The general custom is to wear the latest fashions, honour Goddess Lakshmi, decorate their homes with diyas and rangolis, purchase new gadgets and jewellery, exchange gifts like sweets and dried fruits, and gather for family feasts.

During Diwali, Indians also a party, celebrate carnivals and hold fairs. Dhanteras marks the start of the festival. The auspicious day is perfect for purchasing kitchen equipment, appliances, coins, and jewellery made of gold and silver.
On the day before Diwali, people celebrate Choti Diwali in the North, Sanada Chaturdashi in the West and South, and Bhoot Chaturdashi in the East. Diyas and rangolis are decorated in every household on this day. Diwali begins on the third day and ends on the fourth day. North Indians worship Goddess Lakshmi on Amavasya (new moon day). Fireworks and feasting follow the display of diyas and lights in every household.

This festival culminates with Govardhan Puja on the fourth day. To protect the people from the wrath of Lord Indra, Lord Krishna lifted the Govardhan mountain during this festival. Figurines depicting this event are made from clay and cow dung on this day. On Bhai Dooj, the festival ends. The sisters pray for their brothers' long lives on this day while brothers and sisters perform the tikka ceremony.

Artist-Details Artist Sharmila Laghate  Statement for these Ramadan themed paintings: I have painted this series of paintings, some in a set, or paired or standalone, and the theme is the spirit of Ramadan. A mosque can be seen against a night sky and in another setting, it is shown against a cheerful blue sky of a serene day.
 Yet another pair of paintings suggest the glory and gift brought in by this holy month, by the ‘Day’ and ‘Night’ paintings respectively. 
The ‘Day’ painting shows through it blazing warm colors, the sincere and pious effort in observing fast and prayer during day in the onset of desert summer, which ends with much benevolence towards fellow human beings as well.
