Deepavali ki Shubhkamnayein
If by chance you were planning a casino trip to Goa this week, perhaps you should reconsider. Getting a seat at the Casino Royale or any other gaming house there might be a bit of a long shot.
The Hindu festival of Diwali (short for Deepavali) will be celebrated across India this week and casinos are a pretty popular destination for its devotees. When you learn a bit about the festival you can understand why.
Also known as the Festival of Lights, Diwali is to Indians what 888 is to the Chinese…a spiritual bringer of prosperity. Only unlike ‘888’, Dwalia only works its magic for 5 days of the year, beginning between mid October and November as marked by that period’s only new moon.
If you want to ensure that a purchase will bring good fortune it’s wise to make it on the festival’s auspicious first day known as Dhanteras. Things continue to look up on day 2, or Naraka Chaturdasi, when the evil demon Narakasura is defeated and day 3 (Amavasya) it just gets better again. On this day the Hindu Goddess of Wealth, Lakshmi, is said to be in her most benevolent mood of the year. If ever you’re looking for a little bit of love from Lakshmi…this is the time to ask for it!
With all this good luck floating around it’s no wonder the local card game teen patti becomes particularly popular in India this time of the year. For those with the means it’s also the ideal time for a trip to Goa or further abroad to Macau or other major casino destinations in the region.
