The loud bang of Fireworks append a specialzing in a festival. The amazing combination of colorful lights and sound fill the atmosphere with the aura of jubilation. In India, people express their happiness by bursting firecrackers. Be it the occasion of Independence Day, a wedding, New Year party or its the celebrations of the nation winning the Cricket match, one can hear the sounds of firecrackers all over. However, during the Satyuga, when Lord Rama returned to Ayodhya, no firecrackers existed. People commemorated their heroic king by lighting oil filled lamps (diyas). The origin of Fireworks can be traced back in China. Enjoying the event with Fireworks is a modern mantra.
While the other festivals of Diwali like performing puja, lighting lamps, drawing Rangoli or beautifying the homes are basically to invite Goddess Lakshmi & Lord Ganesha (significantly). On the other hand, universally, it is believed that Firecrackers are burst in order to drive away the evil spirits. This is the theory of belief. But another scientific reason for bursting Fireworks is that it kills the insects & mosquitoes, which grow in number after the rainy season.
Firecrackers come in a diverse range. There are some that soothes your eyes, some of them are ear deafening and many constitute both the traits. While they light up the Amavasya night of Diwali, Firecrackers have been amidst controversy since last two-three decades. It has become a major cause of spreading pollution in the atmosphere. During Diwali, Anti Cracker Campaigns are on their full swing. Government too orders only a restricted selling of Firecrackers. Not only it harms the environment, but its also the reason of raising Child Labour in India. Many unprivileged children die of suffocation and other breathing diseases while working in Firecracker factories.
Diwali continues to be the symbol of triumph of good over evil. If we celebrate the occasion by indulging more in activities, Diwali will not lose it's charm and nor will it be cause of any harm. We can organize Diwali Fests and Fairs to express our mirth and enthusiasm. Bursting Fireworks within certain limits is fine. After all they are the sign of enthusiasm and effervescence everybody is filled with on the festival of Diwali
