Diwali is one of the most main Hindu carnivals and is
celebrated on an impressive scale. Though Goa was populated by the Portuguese
for a lengthy time, the impact of Hindu Gods and Goddesses hasn’t insipid through
the years. The reason behind celebrating Diwali is the return of Rama to his state
after he overthrown Ravana. Yet, in Goa, the festival is celebrated for various
reasons. Legend has it that the devil Narakasura was killed by Lord Krishna.
Narakasura had terrorized the locals, killed people of the town and exploited
them. The day when lord Krishna came to the protection of these people falls a
day before Lakshmi Puja. People in Goa,
celebrates Diwali largely on Naraka Chaturdashi, which is otherwise referred to
as Choti Diwali. Every year, giant effigies of narakasura are complete using dry
leaves, paper and crackers. People hold them in possessions, abuses it and burn
them after the sunset.
Just like Diwali, people lit up their house with lamps and
lights on this day and enjoy Naraka Chaturdashi Celebration in Goa. People with
all the relatives come together to propose their prayer to Goddess Lakshmi,
visits temples and then rupture crackers. On the event of Diwali, the lanes of
Goa are abuzz with hundreds of youth putting mutually huge size effigies of devil
Narakasura. The effigies would be arrogantly paraded and then set on flames on
the eve of the celebration, marking the victory of good over evil.
