we Fiji Indians celebrate Dhanteras by worshipping Lakshmi Mata so that we are blessed with good health, wealth & prosperity therefore I am completely baffled by your story about Dhanteras, also Diwali is a festival which is celebrated by Hindus around the world, nowadays some other cultural groups from different countries also celebrate Diwali
In Bengal, Bhratri Dwitiya or Bhai Dooj is called Bhai Phonta and we sisters recite a short poem 'Bhai'er kopale dilam phonta, Jom'er duar e porlo kanta, Jomuna daye Jom ke phonta, ami di amar bhai ke phonta' while putting a tilak of sandalwood paste on our brothers' forehead. It literally translates to I am putting tilak on my brother's forehead just as Yamuna puts one on Yam's forehead, which will bar/obstruct him from coming closer to Yam's door and hence he will live longer.
In Southern India, Diwali celebrates the victory of Lord Krishna's destruction of the demon Naraka who is said to have imprisoned women . In Northern India, Diwali honors the 14 years Vanvas return of Lord Rama, his wife Sita, and brother Lakshmana, After that save Sita from Ravan called Adharm par dharm ki Jeet .
No in North India people celebrates both narak chaturdashi for lord Krishna also called yam chaturdashi...and deepawali for lord Ram also this is the day when devi Lakshmi arise in samudra manthan that's why people use to worship Lakshmi ji on deepawali... And dhanteras for lord dhanwantari who came with Amrit kalsh in samudra manthan..
This all happened to be in different time lines , in satya yuga or maybe in other realms ‘ kshreera sagar madhanam’ ‘ samudra manthan ‘ happened then from that goddess lakshmi Matha, moon and god dhanvantari came with AMRIT POT’ hence we celebrate dhanteras or in south ‘dhana thrayodashi’. Next in dwapara yuga naraka chathurdasi god krishna went killed demon narakasura along with satyabhama devi. Next day in tretha yuga it’s Amavasya god Rama returned to Ayodhya on Amavasya day so on Amavasya there will be no moon so everyone light up diyas all over to celebrate return of the king Rama. Hence called deepavali. On Vijaya dasami Rama killed Ravana in war and returned to Ayodhya on Ashviyuja Amavasya ( DEEPAVALI). It’s not Diwali, it’s DEEPAVALI.
Shiv is always accompanied with Shakti, Narayan is always accompanied with Lakshmi, Ram is always accompanied with Sita. Women has always been so powerful throughout our history!

The fourth day is for the draught animal, oxen when the Newari community also performs Mha Puja dedicated to oneself.

In Odisha we light dias and kaunria kathi to show the path of heaven to our dead ancestors. We worship them and then bid farewell to them which is called as "bada badua daka".
In Nepal, 1st day is celebrated as crow tihar where basically according to the calendar dhanteras also falls. Sometimes, before crow tihar and sometimes on the day of crow tihar. We don't say diwali. We call it tihar or deepawali. 2nd day, we worship dog, 3rd day we worship cow in the morning and goddess laxmi in the evening. 4th day we do gobardhan puja and also, mha puja which is a self puja prevalent among newari community. 5th day is bhaitika where we brothers and sisters put tika to each other. We remember goodess laxmi, yamaraj, bali raja, shree krishna on these days. ❤
@@unknown_one785 Yes , actually every part or India celebrates for different reason In gujarat we do it because as he mentioned emergence of Laxmi mata during samudra manthan In north india they do it because of lord Ram's return In sourh there is a different reason and in east different In east it is the celebrated as the day lord krishna killed narakasura who was the evil king of Pragjyotishapura, near present-day Assam, and released 16000 girls held captive by Narakasura. I dont know about the reason In south Diwali is a significant day for jain and sikhs too. Sikhs celebrate bandi choor divas in remembrance of the release of Guru Hargobind from the Gwalior fort prison by the Mughal emperor Jahangir and the day he arrived at the Golden Temple in Amritsar. So its historical and not necessarily religious Jains also celebrate it and for them it's a religious reason. I dont remember exactly what was the reason.
Sikhs 6th Guru Sahib - Dhan Guru Hargobind Sahib Ji Maharaj 🙏🏻...... And Jai Shri Ram ❤ Happy Bandi Choor Diwas and Happy Diwali To All Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh 🙏🏻

Thank you.... by the way the video was amazing☻♥☺
I just watched a video where the speaker mentioned that Diwali is only celebrated in North India. I want to set the record straight - Diwali is a festival celebrated all across India, not just in the north. It's a beautiful festival of lights that unites people from every corner of our country. By saying otherwise, we unintentionally divide India. Let's remember that Diwali is a celebration of our shared culture and heritage, and it belongs to all of us. So, let's embrace unity and celebrate Diwali together, regardless of where we're from.
भूत चतुर्दशी का पर्व भारत के विभिन्न राज्यों में अलग-अलग तरीके से मनाया जाता है. इस दिन यम के नाम से दीपक भी जलाया जाता है तो वहीं इस दिन कई तंत्र विद्या सीखने वाले जातक अपने तंत्र-मंत्र का प्रदर्शन भी करते हैं. इतना ही नहीं खासकर पश्चिम बंगाल में इस दिन काली मां की पूजा आराधना का भी विधान है.
