Beautiful Diwali Coloring Pages

1. Beautifully Decorated House

How beautiful does this little house look decorated with diyas? On the eve of Diwali, people decorate their houses and premises with electric bulbs, diyas, and candles to make the surroundings bright and colorful. Diyas or earthen lamps are arranged in rows on thresholds and windowsills. Light is a symbol of positive energy and hope. By spreading light to every nook and corner of the house, we try to destroy the reign of darkness. The light from the lamps also empowers us to commit to good deeds, making us closer to the divinity.

2. Diyas And Candles

Diyas and candles are lit in every household. In fact, the name Diwali comes from the Sanskrit word ‘Dipavali’, which means ‘row of lamps’. Wherever you go, you will see houses, shops, and public places decorated with earthen lamps, or diyas. Lighting diyas is a way of paying obeisance to god for providing wealth, knowledge, and health. Legends say that the brightly lit lamps help Goddess Lakshmi find her way into people’s homes.

3. Children Bursting Firecrackers

This Diwali coloring page features two excited children bursting crackers. Even the simplest rituals of Diwali are rather significant, including the bursting of firecrackers. The illumination of skies with firecrackers is an expression of obeisance to heaven for the attainment of knowledge, peace, wealth, and prosperity. The sounds of the firecrackers indicate the joy of the people living on earth. The sounds also make the gods aware of their plentiful state.
