Diwali, also known as Deepavali, is one of the most celebrated festivals in Karnataka, symbolizing the victory of light over darkness and good over evil. Homes are decorated with vibrant rangoli designs and rows of glowing oil lamps, creating a warm and festive atmosphere. Families come together to perform Lakshmi puja, seeking blessings for prosperity, happiness, and good fortune. Traditional sweets, new clothes, and the exchange of gifts are an essential part of the celebration. Cities like Bengaluru, Mysuru, Hubballi, and Mangaluru come alive with illuminated streets, cultural events, and fireworks displays. Deepavali in Karnataka beautifully blends devotion, tradition, and togetherness, spreading joy and positivity throughout the state.
