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!

yes you are correct.
the name reflects that it is the festival of light, why on Deepavali we are not celebrating like North Indians?

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.

Please!!!
Don't start again!
Deepavali and Narakasura association have been accepted by millions around the globe, including those in Singapore and Malaysia.
Leave it be!
Never argue with a fool or he will drag you down to his level and beat you at it through sheer experience!

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.
NOV - wouldn't it be interesting to know there 'roots' of the celebration. Yes, the Narakasura story is popular. But just where was it told?? I guess it must be in one of the 18 Vaishnava puranas! But which one?
