About Diwali
Diwali, popularly known as the Festival of Lights, is among the most important Hindu festivals celebrated across India and many parts of the world. Families decorate homes with diyas, colorful rangoli, flowers, and decorative lights to welcome prosperity and happiness.
The festival commemorates the return of Lord Rama to Ayodhya after defeating Ravana and completing fourteen years of exile. In many regions, Diwali is also dedicated to Goddess Lakshmi, the goddess of wealth, and Lord Ganesha, the remover of obstacles.
Beyond its religious significance, Diwali represents new beginnings, gratitude, family bonding, generosity, and hope. People exchange gifts, sweets, and warm wishes while enjoying festive meals and cultural celebrations.
