Q: fire crackers may be the reason.
A: The essence of Diwali, however, can be maintained by lighting just a lamp at home and that is what makes it so special. The basis of this festival can be defined as: Tamoasoma jyotirgamaya Asatoma Satgagamaya Mrityorma Amritangamaya Which means: In the human race let there be light where there is darkness, let there be truth where there is untruth and let there be nectar instead of death.
