Happy Diwali 2024: Diwali, one of the most beloved festivals in India will be celebrated on October 31 this year. Also known as the festival of lights, Diwali is celebrated by people with great enthusiasm all across the globe. On Diwali, people worship Maa Lakshmi along with Lord Ganesh with Maa Laxmi Ki Aarti and Ganesh Ji Ki Aarti.
It is believed that praying to them on this day brings blessings of wealth, prosperity, and good fortune. Lakshmi, the goddess of wealth, is the main goddess linked to Diwali, making her story especially important to the festival. According to a legend, Indra once angered Lakshmi with his pride, causing her to leave the divine world and disappear into the milky ocean.
Without Lakshmi's blessings, the world became dark, and the gods were eager to bring her back. After 1,000 years of churning the ocean, Lakshmi finally returned, rising from the waters on a beautiful lotus flower, and brought good fortune back to the world..
