During this time, there is a lot to be done. Here is what we do on the festival.
• The entire event kick starts with the cleaning and painting of the house. Since Goddess Lakshmi is supposed to reside only in clean houses, therefore it is imperative for the people to get their house cleaned and painted afresh.
• During these days, the houses as well as the courtyard are decorated with Rangoli. You can use either white powder as is available in the south or use colors as well; a trend prevalent in other parts of the nation.
• The tradition of wearing new clothes as well as presenting them to your loved ones surely deserves mention.
• For the business community, Diwali has always been a special occasion as this is the time when they start the account books. Hence, all the previous books are closed and fresh books are started.
