Did you know that the Hindu festival of Diwali was originally a harvest festival celebrated in ancient India over 2,500 years ago? In fact, the word "Diwali" comes from the Sanskrit word "avali" meaning "row of lights". During Diwali, people would light lamps to guide the goddess Lakshmi, the goddess of wealth and prosperity, into their homes. In ancient times, people would also use these lamps to signal to their families that they had safely arrived home after a long journey, kind of like a ancient version of a "Welcome Home" sign.
