Diyas light the houses; fireworks illuminate the skies and rangoli decorates the outside Hindu homes. They do this to attract Lakshmi, the goddess of good fortune. The Traditional diyas (light lamps) used by people during Diwali are earthen lamps, although plastic and metallic diyas have also become available recently. These diyas are filled with ghee or oil, and a cotton wick is used to bear the flame.
Sikhs also celebrate Diwali, as it marks the release of their gurji Guru Hargobind Sahibji and 52 other kings and princess of India that were made captives by the mogul emperor Shah Jahan.

Idols of Lord Ganesh and Goddess Lakshmi are placed side by side for the prayers and rituals. Lord Ganesha is worshiped first followed by Lord Lakshmi.
