Why Diwali Is Celebrated

Different traditions connect Diwali with Shri Rama’s return to Ayodhya, Lakshmi Puja, Krishna’s victory over Narakasura, the nirvana of Mahavira and Sikh history. Across these traditions, light represents awareness, ethical prosperity and hope.

A meaningful celebration balances beauty with responsibility: clean without waste, light diyas safely, share with neighbors and reduce noise and air pollution.
