Diwali is known as the festival of lights and it is considered the most auspicious occasion in the Hindu religion. It is also celebrated to honor the triumph of good over evil. Hindus celebrate Diwali with great enthusiasm and faith. Candles and earthen lamps are lit to illuminate the homes and streets to welcome Lord Rama and the deity Lakshmi in to their homes and lives.

Traditionally the day is marked with religious rituals and prayers at home and with lighting candles and earthen lamps to illuminate the 
house. People wear their best clothes and parents buy new kids clothes for their children. Family and friends celebrate by being together and wish each other with sweets and love.
However, the celebrations have taken a new direction with the changing times. The modern age has replaced the traditional candles and earthen lamps with electric LED lights. The quiet family get-togethers are now loud parties with lots of fireworks and noise.
To help you stay out of harm's way, there are some points you should consider to celebrate a safe and healthy Diwali:
Sweets and Foods
When you go to buy sweets and other eatables be very careful as shopkeepers use chemicals and other artificial preservatives in the preparation of large quantities of foods and sweets. This can cause real health concerns and may even lead to your kidneys and liver being damaged, cancer or asthma.
Given the festive mood that Diwali brings, adults and children should resist the temptation of over indulging themselves with eating. Rather choose to eat sensibly and eat healthy. India, being the nation with the highest cases of diabetes, people should also eat sweets moderately.
Fireworks
Play with fireworks and firecrackers in a responsible and safe manner. Always read instructions and avoid handing them to small children to light. Also, if we avoid playing with fireworks all-together we will be helping the environment by stopping the pollution caused from them. Fireworks can also be dangerous as they are highly un-predictable. They can cause serious burns and injuries if they suddenly burst.
- Always light firecrackers from a safe distance
- Children should always be under an adult’s supervision and never left alone to play with firecrackers
- Keep handy a bucket of water
- Do not wear loose clothes when lighting firecrackers and the kids clothes should also be appropriate
- Always light firecrackers away from crowded places and busy roads
- Wear earplugs to protect your ears from the noise of the firecrackers
Lastly, Diwali is a time of joy and forgiveness as it brings a sense of new beginnings. So embrace this festive occasion with your family and friends to make it a special moment that you will all treasure for many years to come.
