Traditional Diwali with a pack of cards
Amidst all the fun and frolic involved in the celebration of the Diwali festival, the age old game of gambling has its own prominence. Families get together and organize flush and rummy. The stakes are high and the winner is assured of year long prosperity. It is taken so seriously that the losers wait for the next season when the game would be organized, so as to make up for their loss. Like all celebrations that have a legend backing it, the tradition of gambling on this auspicious day is believed to have started when Goddess Parvati played dice with Lord Shiva. She also announced that those who gambled on the day of Diwali would prosper through-out the year. The Goddess of wealth is believed to smile upon gamblers who put in high stakes. This act of gambling during Diwali is not merely seen within the confines of the home but also played outside .Casinos and local gambling houses are crowded with gamblers hoping for lady luck to be by their side. The festival of lights is not just illumination and fireworks. There are many other aspects like the one mentioned above which are worth discovering. Read more Diwali Articles
