Specific practices rather than a general mood.
The national version of a festival is usually a compromise. This is the actual picture.
Naraka Chaturdashi, not Diwali, is the main ritual day. The pre-dawn abhyanga snan with the lohi-heated water, new clothes, and a faral breakfast are all observed here more strictly than anywhere else.
This is Deepavali for many households in Tamil Nadu and Karnataka — the oil bath with sikkakai powder before sunrise, new clothes, and sweets. The formal Naraka Chaturdashi puja is done with the leftover oil and a small image of Krishna.
Observed as Bhoot Chaturdashi and Kali Chaudas. Fourteen diyas are lit to guide ancestors, and Kali Puja happens through the night.
Called Choti Diwali. Largely a preparation day — last-minute cleaning, rangoli, sweets, and partial lighting of the house in the evening.
