| Another superstition hold that one should keep the main doors of the house wide open because goddess Lakshmi visit her devotees at diwali night and she won't enter their house and bless them with wealth and prosperity if their doors are closed. This superstition could lead to mis-happenings lie theft and stealing. According to one more superstition of diwali, we should keep the Diyas and candles glowing whole night in order to welcome Lakshmi the goddess of wealth. But in actual sense it is a very wrong practice. This could lead to serious fire accidents which may results in great loss of property and life and convert the happy and joyous occasion of diwali into a gloomy one. So one should not go by these superstitions and should think rationally before performing any such ritual. |
