Diwali Festival 2024: Diwali, also known as the “Festival of Lights”, is one of the most important and widely celebrated festivals in India. It is a festival of joy, family gatherings, prayers, and festivities, symbolizing the victory of light over darkness and good over evil. This year Diwali will be celebrated on Thursday, October 31, 2024.

However, according to the Hindu calendar, the festival of Diwali will be celebrated on October 31 in many places and on November 1, 2024 in some places.

Before Diwali, people clean their houses and decorate them with flowers and diyas. This festival is also called Deepawali and people celebrate it on the Amavasya date of Kartik month. On this day, many devotees also worship Goddess Lakshmi in their homes. Here’s why devotees should remove broken things from the house before Diwali.

Why Diwali is celebrated?

According to the scriptures, on the day of Diwali, Lord Rama and Maa Sita returned to Ayodhya after completing 14 years of exile. Their return was marked with great enthusiasm and their subjects gave them a grand welcome by lighting lamps.

Why devotees should remove broken things from the house before Diwali festival 2024

According to astrologers, broken glass should not be kept in the house. If there is a broken idol of any deity inside your house or in the temple, then immerse it in a holy river or pond before the festival. According to Vastu Shastra, keeping a broken idol in the house is not believed auspicious.

We also recommend that if you have torn shoes, clothes or other items then remove them while cleaning the house for the Diwali festival.

Moreover, It is very important to follow the rules of Vastu Shastra on Diwali. It is said that if these rules are followed, then the blessings of Goddess Lakshmi will shower on the house and there will never be a shortage of money.

As Diwali is near, special attention should be paid to the cleanliness of the house as Goddess Lakshmi resides only in a clean place.
