Explanation

In Tamil Nadu, Deepavali is traditionally celebrated by bursting crackers in the early morning on the day of the festival, specifically after taking an oil bath. This differs from the common North Indian practice of bursting crackers in the evening. The morning timing is linked to the mythological belief that the demon Narakasura was killed at dawn, symbolizing the triumph of light over darkness.
