Dear Jayvin Bhai
Jai Shree Krishna
Pushtimarg is part of Sanatan hindu Dharma and in hindu Dharma we celebrate Diwali. In Pushtimarg we have taken Ram Navmi as an utsav so Diwali is also celebrated. As out thakorji is very fond of lights and Sweets on the day of Diwali a special decoration is done called Hatadi on this day and thakorji is seated within this. Can any one tell what is the Bhaav of Hatadi..?

Dear All,
Jai Shree Krishna,
Also, one more legend which is related to Diwali and is believed is that Krishna killed demon Narakarasura on this day.
So mother Yashoda gave Abhiyaan Sanaan with scented wated and decorated the place with flowers to Lord to wash away all the evil eyes and to celebrate this event distributed sweets and decorated the Nandgoan with lot of diyas.
Jai Shree Krishna

The Diwali is festival of lights and the legend which we all know is with Rama's return to Ayodhiya. Jignaben has rightfully pinpointed the Pushti connection as her posting describes the legend of Bal-leela, where Krishna killed demon called Narakarasura.
Yosodaji said that my little BalKrishna only servived this demon because of deepavali pavitra prakash and from now onwards I am going to celebrate Diwali as "Bal Krishna Jevaat Daan Diya Din" and she put out one million dipak mala at Nand Bhavan and errected a platform where she put thousands of Sundala of Mithai (sweets)and distributed free to all Vrajvasi.
Thakorji loved the idea of the platform and when Yasodaji retired inside the Bhavan, Krishan started charging money to all vrajvasi. He pretended that he is a shop-keeper and everyone should pay for the mithay. "Hatdi" means shop.
