Diwali

Celebrated to mark the victory of good over evil Diwali commemorates the day when Lord Ram was crowned as the King of Ayodhya on his return with wife Site and brother Laxman after 14 years of exile and slaying of the demon King Ravana.

Diwali also known as the ‘festival of lights' is perhaps the most popular of all Hindu festivals. This enchanting festival of Diwali is celebrated with lot of enthusiasm in India. The festival marks the end of ignorance and beginning of knowledge that enlightens all.

Diwali falls on the darkest night of the Indian calendar. Every home is alit with the orange glow of twinkling diyas or candles to welcome Lakshmi, Goddess of wealth and prosperity. People exchange gifts, sweets between families and friends amidst the bursting of crackers.

Timing: Between October- December
