=== Lakshmi Puja ===
{{Mainමූලික|Lakshmi Puja}}
Diwali marks the end of the harvest season in most of India and Nepal. Farmers are thankful for the plentiful bounty of the year gone by, and pray for a good harvest for the year to come. Traditionally this marked the closing of accounts for businesses dependent on the agrarian cycle, and the last major celebration before winter. The deity of Lakshmi symbolizes wealth and prosperity, and her blessings are invoked for a good year ahead.
There are two legends that associate the worship of [[Lakshmi]] on this day. According to the first legend, on this day, Lakshmi emerged from Kshira Sagar, the Ocean of Milk, during the great churning of the oceans, [[Samudra manthan]]. The second legend (more popular in western India) relates to the [[Vamana]] avatar of [[Vishnu]], the incarnation he took to kill the demon king [[Bali]]. Thereafter it was on this day, that Vishnu came back to his abode, the [[Vaikuntha]]; so those who worship Lakshmi on this day, get the benefit of her benevolent mood, and are blessed with mental, physical and material well-being.<ref>[http://www.indiaexpress.com/faith/festivals/dhistory.html Diwali History]</ref>

{{mainමූලික|Kali Puja}}
'''Kali Puja''' is light-up night for [[Kolkata]], corresponding to the festival of Diwali (pronounced ''Dipabali'' in Bengali), where people light candles in memory of the souls of departed ancestors. The Goddess [[Kali]] is worshipped at night on one night during this festival. This is also a night of [[fireworks]], with local youth burning sparklers and crackers throughout the night. Kolkata had to pass [[legislature]] a few years back to ban fireworks which break the 65 [[decibel]] sound limit, as ambient noise levels were going up to 90 [[decibels]] or more in parts of the city.

{{Mainමූලික|Mela}}
To add to the festival of Diwali, fairs (or '[[mela]]s') are held throughout India.<ref> {{cite book | first=Dilip | last=Kadowala| title=Diwali | publisher=Evans Brothers Limited | location=London | year=1998 | isbn=0-237-51801-5}} </ref> Melas are to be found in many towns and villages. A mela generally becomes a market day in the countryside when farmers buy and sell produce. Girls and women dress attractively during the festival. They wear colourful clothing and new jewelry, and their hands are [[Mehndi|decorated]] with [[henna]] designs.
