5. All About the Diwali Gambling Legend
It all starts with the most famous Hindu holiday, the Diwali. This 5 days long festival is celebrated every year by all Indians at the end of October/ beginning of November. Its date is slightly changing every year and depending which part of the country you are in, festivities may be a bit different.
It is a festival of light and celebrates the return of the god Lord Rama to his kingdom after he had been in exile for 14 years. To celebrate this happy moment, according to a Hindu legend, Lord Rama’s people lit divas (clay oil lamps) in their homes.
During this time, Lakshmi will come and visit the home of Hindus, this is why they are cleaned and decorated before this important festival. Everything must be shining to please and attract the Goddess Lakshmi in Hindu houses. People invite each other into their homes, and enjoy this holiday.
In the North of India, Diwali’s celebration includes a lot of fireworks and ceremonial gambling at home. This is one of the most important activities of the festival. This gambling includes a lot of popular games such as Poker, Blackjack or even Teen Patti (three-card brag). This is because the legend states that the Goddess Parvati was playing dice with God Shiva, her husband on the 4th day of Diwali. She won, and then declared that whoever gambled on Diwali will enjoy prosperity for the coming year.
