LC: To explain the significance of light in Diwali celebrations.
Last week, we learned about the festival of Diwali and how Hindus celebrate.
What can you remember? Share with your partner.
Today, we are looking at why Hindus celebrate and why light is significant/ important.
Think back to the story of Rama and Sita. What messages did we learn from it?
The festival is a celebration of good triumphing over evil, symbolised by the emphasis on light. Through the use of candles, lanterns and fireworks, light is brought into the darkness, and evil and ignorance cast out.
The festival gets its name from the row of clay lamps that Indians light outside their homes to symbolize the inner light that protects from spiritual darkness.
Lights are placed everywhere around homes, streets and temples, bathing the street at night in a soft, beautiful glow.
As the sun finally sets, families gather to pray to Lakshmi.
Lakshmi is welcomed into their cleaned homes and in exchange, she offers happiness and success for the year.
Explain in your own words why light is significant in Diwali.
Why do Hindus light lamps and candles and even set off fireworks during Diwali?
How does light link to the story of Rama and Sita?
