Happy Deepavali or Happy Diwali?
Deepavali and Diwali both refer to the Festival of Lights, but the South Indians are leaning towards the use of Deepavali whereas the North Indians mostly use Diwali.
As the ancestors of our Malaysian Indians are from South India, we mostly use Deepavali here in Malaysia. During this festival, we will wish all our fellow Hindus ‘Happy Deepavali’, or ‘Happy Diwali’ if they are North Indian!

The Legend of Deepavali
There are several different legends about the celebration of Deepavali, and the most popular legend is from the.
According to the epic, it is the day Prince Rama, with his wife Sita and his younger brother Lakshmana, returned and reclaimed his throne after being exiled for 14 years by his father King Dasharatha.
It is a very dark night during his return, so the people in the town place lit clay lamps in their houses to help light the path Prince Rama used to return to his throne. So, the Deepavali is a celebration of the victory of light over darkness.
Besides, Deepavali is also a time to honour Lakshmi, the Hindu goddess of light, wealth, fortune, power, beauty, fertility and prosperity. The lit clap lamps in their homes are to get her to visit and bless them.
Deepavali Festival in Malaysia
During the Deepavali festival, you can see many clay lamps in Indian homes and business centres, which is why it is known as the Light Festival.
Many Indians will also decorate their homes with coloured paper lamps or Kolam, a temporary colourful design on the floor made from rice dyed with colour powders.
On that special day, Hindus usually wake up early in the morning to prepare for the festival. They take a bath with herbal oils as a ritual to purify one’s past sins, followed by a family prayer ceremony at home before going to the temple for worship and other ceremonies.
Hindus also give out purple or yellow packets of gift money to children during Deepavali.
You can also see fireworks and firecrackers at the night, and a range of sweet and savoury treats shared among Hindu neighbours.
Conclusion
Deepavali is a joyful day for all Malaysians to celebrate together with our Hindu friends, brothers and sisters. Let’s wish all of us a Happy Deepavali!
