Deepavali now is a festival where people from all age groups, all cultures toexpress a feel of their happiness by lighting diyas and electric lamps, cleaning and decorating the homes and offices, children burst firecrackers and invite near and dear ones to the homes for partying.Â
To me, darkness represents ignorance, and light is a symbol for knowledge. Therefore, lighting a lamp symbolizes the spread of knowledge and celebrating deepavali every moment, destructingnegative forces- wickedness, violence, lust, anger, envy, greed, fear, injustice, suffering, etc. So I request every human light a lamp of love and happiness destruct the negatives.
Deepavali, the literal meaning of which in Sanskrit is a row of lamps. Filling little clay lamps with oil and wick and lighting them in rows all over the house is a tradition that is popular in most regions of the country. Seven Auspicous days of Deepawali

Poojan Method
In Deepawali pujan predominantly Lord Ganesha and Goddess Lakshmi are worshipped.
Lord Ganesha is always worshipped at the beginning of every auspicious act as Vighnaharta; Goddess Lakshmi - is worshipped in her three forms - Mahalakshmi (the goddess of wealth and money), Mahasaraswati (the goddess of books and learning), and Mahakali.
 Kuber (the treasurer of the gods) is also worshipped.
On a raised platform the worshiper has to spread a new cloth.
Place a handful of grains in the centre and, on this, place a kalash,(pitcher). Fill three-fourth of the kalash with water and place a betel nut, a flower, a coin, and some rice grains in it.Â
Arrange five kinds of leaves or mango leaves in the kalash .
Place a small dish on the kalash and fill it with rice grains.Â
Draw a lotus with turmeric powder ( haldi ) over the rice grains and place the idol of goddess Lakshmi over it
In front of the kalash , on the right (South-West direction), place the idol of Ganesha. Also place ink and books related to your business or occupation on the platform.
Light a deepak and the incense sticks and we have to start the puja by offering haldi, kumkum , and flowers to the platform on which the kalash is placed.
Sprinkle the sacred water on all puja utensils to purify them.
Make  a Panchamitra  with five ingredients of milk, curd, ghee(clarified butter), sugar & Honey.
Now we have to start with Ganesh Pujan by reciting om Gan ganpaty namah:
Offer a garland to the god. Offer flowers and make an offering of sweets, coconut and fruits
Now we have to invite maa the goddess Lakshmi by reciting the “Om Shreem hreem shreem Om maha lakshmiya namhaâ€Then offer the flowers to the idol.
Place the idol of Maa Lakshmi in a plate and bathe it with scared water, panchamrit and then with water containing some gold ornament or a pearl. Wipe the idol clean and place it back on the kalash .Â
Offer sandal paste, haldi, kumkum, to the goddess. Offer a garland  to the goddess. Offer flowers and make an offering of sweets, coconut and fruits.
Then worship the ink and business books. Open the first page of each book and write Shubha Labh on it and draw a Swastika in the clockwise direction.
