Deepavali is a Sanskrit term--Thereis no no North or South India involved.--Deepam=(means) Light--Aavali=(means)(neatly arranged) in a row or line.Deepaavali =Lights arranged neatly in a row or line.So it is a "Festival of Lights"-Mythological stories differ-in North/South/East/or West India-(1) Naragasura(destruction of Demon) by sri.Krishna &and his consort Satyabhama or (2)sri.Rama returrning to Ayodhya after destroying Ravana(demon).(3)Godess of wealth(sri.Lakshmi)-"Dan Theraas" -coming out of Milk ocean with sri.Dhanvantari bringing the nectar giving Eternal Life (Amrutham).For some ethnic groups new year starts-All the "BIG" business people in Bombay(the Financial Capital of India) opening their new Accounts books etc,etc. The present day politicians'(greetings)rhetoric is "Good winning over the evil"-year after year-Deepavali is the correct term--Diwali is a corrupted form used by the village folk-now adopted by City dwellers also.(in Hindi "Diwal" means Bankruptcy).It is a very grand festival celebrated by the entire India with a lot of lights,sweets,new clothes,crackers and exchanging greetings with relatives and friends and going to Films Newly released on that day in thousands of Theatres in the entire country.In some parts- Muscular people would show their Strength-Martial Games..Billions of Indian rupees would be spend on that ONE day in the entire country-from Kashmir to Kanyakumari and Gujarat to Assam-roughly 9,000,000 square miles.It is celebrated on the early hours 4.30 A.M on "Aasweeja Krishna Chtur Dasi"=14th day(in South India) or on the same day Night "Kaarthika Amavasya"(New moon)-15thday(in North india)--sometime the end of October or first week of November.
