b"According to various Puranas the 5 days have a great spiritual significance and we explore this in the satsang.
Trayodashi one lights lamps for yama and to avoid accidental deaths.
Naraka-Chaturdashi one lights lamps, offers Yama-Tarpan and does Ulka-daan for the ancestors.
Amavasya - one worships Lakshmi Devi in the morning, has entertainment in the afternoon, lights lamps in the evening and drives out Alakshmi after midnight with beating of drums etc.
Pratipada - One celebrates the New Year, does Bali pooja, does daan and also plays game of Dice remembering Lord Shiva & Mother Parvati's game.
Yamadvitiya - One goes to the sister's house in the afternoon and both the brother and sister pray to Lord Yama and then sister feeds the brother.

Upavas, Deep-daan, ulka-daan(crackers & sparkles etc.), pooja, oil-bath etc. are common on all the days.

Let us revive our cultural traditions and ensure that our festivals become very meaningful and help in our evolution.
