Karwa Chauth is celebrated on the fourth day of the Kartik month in the Hindu Calendar. This is a very popular time of the year where friends and family get together to celebrate and meet the festival. The festival of Diwali is celebrated after nine days of Karwa Chauth. Karwa Chauth was initially used to celebrate the alliance between the bride and her in-laws\, but with time the ritual has changed. Nowadays Karwa Chauth is celebrated to seek blessings from the Almighty for husband’s long life and beneficial health. \nAs compared to the Southern India\, Karwa Chauth Fasting is more popular in the North. After the four day span of Karwa Chauth\, Ahoi Ashtami is celebrated for the well being and longevity of sons. Even though the original meaning of Karwa Chauth has changed with time from what it used to be but still the ritual of having a day long fast is followed with utmost enthusiasm and passion among the Indian women for the long life of their husband. \nThe History of Karwa Chauth is drawn backward to the ancient times. It is believed that Karwa Chauth was celebrated to cherish the bond between the bride and the women in her family. Now\, whatever the Karwa Chauth Story says\, it is now celebrated with amazing passion and is considered as one of the most auspicious occasions to cherish. The festival certainly reinforces the bond of love\, both between the wedded and committed couples. Thus\, it is seen as one of the most wonderful and special occasions for the couples.

SUMMARY:Pradosh vrat (Shiva Abhishek at temple)\,  Dhanteras
DESCRIPTION:Dhantrayodashi which is also known as Dhanteras is the first day of five days long Diwali festivities. On the day of Dhantrayodashi\, Goddess Lakshmi came out of the ocean during the churning of the Milky Sea. Hence\, Goddess Lakshmi\, along with Lord Kubera who is the God of wealth\, is worshipped on the auspicious day of Trayodashi. However\, Lakshmi Puja on Amavasya after two days of Dhantrayodashi is considered more significant.

SUMMARY:Diwali (Diwali in India 1stNovember)
DESCRIPTION:Diwali is also known as ‘Deepavali’\, which literally means rows (avali) of lights (deepa) in Sanskrit. This festival of lights is celebrated on the darkest night (Amavasya) of the Kartik month in the Indian calendar\, and it symbolizes the vanquishing of ignorance (darkness) by knowledge (light). \nThe festival of Diwali has many rituals\, traditions\, and stories associated with it. On the surface\, these traditions may seem very mundane and insignificant but there is a beautiful meaning hidden behind each and every aspect of the Diwali celebrations.
