There are 5 days of Diwali, and each day holds a very special meaning and tradition with it. On day 1, people clean their homes and set up their light arrangements. Day 2 is spent decorating homes with rangoli patterns and lights. Day 3 is the main day of celebrations and families gather for Lakshmi Puja, which is a prayer to the goddess Lakshmi. Day 4 is the first day of the New Year, when husband and wife celebrate one another. Day 5 is dedicated to siblings and the bond they share.
