Details

Diwali is one of the major festivals of Indians. Celebrating Diwali symbolizes the victory of good over evil. We illuminate our home with oil lamps (diyas) and light crackers, symbolizing the victory of light over darkness. Hence it is a festival of lights. During the celebration, we also renovate, clean, and decorate our homes and workplaces, intending to have a fresh start. It is the time for friends and family to have happy gatherings and spread happiness. This festival is associated with the great Indian history - the return of King Ram (an avatar of Indian god Vishnu) to Ayodhya (a place in Uttar Pradesh, India) after defeating the demon. Diwali is a special occasion that is close to every Indian's heart and a solemn commemoration of how the god Vishnu takes an avatar to destroy evil.
