For many Hindus, Diwali honours the triumphant return of the deities Rama and Sita to Ayodhya, the ancient Indian city of their birthplace, following a 14-year period in exile and their ultimate victory over the demon Ravana.
As recorded in the epic poem Ramayana by Valmiki, Ravana had kidnapped Sita, Rama's wife, prompting the lord to set out to rescue her, ultimately slaying the demon with the aid of the monkey god Hanuman. Their victorious return home was celebrated by the lighting of lamps across the kingdom.
Diwali also pays homage to Lakshmi, goddess of wealth and prosperity. Some believe it falls on her birthday, also the date on which she married Lord Vishnu.
Many in India leave their windows and doors open and light lamps as a means of welcoming Lakshmi into their homes.
