According to the Hindu calendar, Diwali is marked as the start of the new financial year and on this day many businessmen, traders, and shopkeepers do pooja of the new account books and after that, they start working on these new accounts books. On this day people do puja of Goddess Lakshmi because goddess Lakshmi brings wealth and prosperity to our life. People believe that all Investment, spending, and purchases are considered auspicious on this day and if we buy Gold and other jewelry then it will bring luck to our life.

Diwali or Deepawali is the auspicious festival in Hindu culture because this festival symbolizes the victory of good over evil. In this modern era, the spirit of Diwali still holds relevant meaning. It inspires us to fight against all the negativity and evils of society.
