Delhi represents a fusion of the entire North India culture. The festival of Diwali is celebrated with great zeal, pomp and show. There is an atmosphere of fun and frolic, which is set way before the festival comes. From President house, Parliament, Prime-Minster's residence, ancient monuments, temples to homes, every building is under the shining veil of lights of myriad colors. Amongst the grand preparations of Diwali shopping is the foremost activity that Delhites love to indulge into. The famous shopping hubs of the city are Chandni Chawk, Kamla Market, Karol Bagh etc, which are jam-packed during the festive season of Diwali. They offer innumerable Diwali gift options that you will sit scratching your head there in the confusion of what to buy and what not. The flocking of a large crowd at the marketplace is the sign of prosperity of the buyers as well as of the shopkeepers who will earn a lot of money by selling their goods at such a large amount.

The season of festivities embarks it's journey with the advent of Dussehra. The tradition of ostentatious Ram Lila arrangements is quite peculiar to the culture of Delhi. It is a dramatized depiction of the Ramayana and commemorates the triumph of good over evil. Since the festival of Dussehra, Diwali Melas start mushrooming all around the town. They offer celebrations at grand level with big swings, food stalls, shows by jugglers, puppeteers and clowns. There are henna stalls and competitions for cultural programs as well that creates the aura of a carnival.

North India being the center of business community, for people living here, Diwali marks the beginning of the financial new year. They offer prayers to Goddess Lakshmi to make the upcoming year full of monetary gains, prosperity and peace. For Lakshmi Pujan, silver coins are first dipped in unboiled milk and then offered on the feet of the deity. All the devotees perform arti of Goddess Lakshmi at the conclusion of the Puja rituals.

Thus, Diwali celebrations in Delhi are unique and beautiful in their own way. If you are in Delhi during the Diwali season, you can experience the vibrancy of it by yourself.
