Diwali, or Dipawali as it is also known, is India's biggest and most important holiday of the year. The festival gets its name from the row (avali) of clay lamps (deepa) that Indians light outside their homes to symbolize the inner light that protects from spiritual darkness. 

On the first day of Diwali, people consider it auspicious to spring clean the home and shop for gold or kitchen utensils of which you can do locally at your leisure and enjoy the hustle and bustle of the start of Diwali. 

On the second day, people decorate their homes with clay lamps and create design patterns called rangoli on the floor using colored powders or sand which you will be involved in creating during your retreat.

The third day is the main day of the festival when families and friends gather together for a Lakshmi puja, a prayer to Goddess Lakshmi (the Goddess of prosperity) followed by mouth-watering food, sweets and firework festivities on our beach and around the retreat space. 

The fourth day is the first day of the new year when friends and relatives visit with gifts and best wishes for the season and a perfect to set your intentions in our New Year beach bonfire puja.

 On the last day of Diwali, brothers typically visit their married sisters who welcome them with love and a lavish meal. You'll be able to soak up the Diwali atmosphere here at Devarya Wellness. 

During your retreat you will offered two Ayurvedic Massages from an experienced therapist at times of your choosing. Start your day off with a dynamic yoga class at 8am in one of our spacious and airy roof top yoga shalas.
