Arthi: I think it is deepam + aavaLi ! row of lights. aavaLi = row or series
The practice in the north is to light a row of lamps! We don't do that in the south. We do that for karthigai deepam! :)

Regards,
Lord Krishna killed the demon Narakasura and hence Deepavali is celebreated.North Indians open new account books on this day.They make special poojas for Lakshmi.
South Indians celebrate it by wearing new clothes,taking headbath(ganga snanam) and some do poojas in their houses.
You sure?? In which Purana is this Narakasura story told? When was that written? May I know....Quote:

Happy Deepawali to everyone.

Nothing anit- here, Raghu dear. Not 'embedded' - in thamizh, because they can be easily removed. They are just 'in use' in Tamil. Anyway - 'Deepam' and 'AvaLi' are both Tamil words. So there is nothing to fight over.Quote:
