_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

<> Diwali is a festival that is synonymous with lamps, glittering night lights, amazing food and family reunions. It’s perceived to be the Festival of Lights that shoos away all kinds of despair and darkness. Diwali is eclectic in nature and is much loved and celebrated across different cultures in India as well as in other parts of the world.

<> Many believe that Diwali day marked Lord Rama’s homecoming after 14 years of exile. Ayodhya was lit up to commemorate his return and people marked the special occasion with diyasin their homes. This is why many people light diyason several days during the festival, keeping up with the spirit of the occasion and even decorating their homes with glittering trails of blinking lights.

<> Other stories include Diwali marking the coming of Goddess Kali in some places and beloved ancestors returning from heaven for a single day.

<> Essentially, all these stories are full of joy, hope and faith which bind them and raise the spirits of the revellers, giving people a chance to take a break from their everyday lives and get together for the festivities.
