Diwali: A Festival of Lights, Joy, and Togetherness
Diwali, also known as Deepavali, is one of the most vibrant and widely celebrated festivals across the globe, marking a time of joy, light, and family gatherings.
The name "Diwali" comes from the Sanskrit word "Deepavali," which means a row of lights. It symbolises the triumph of light over darkness, knowledge over ignorance, and good over evil. For millions, Diwali is a celebration of hope, prosperity, and new beginnings.
The Significance of Diwali
The significance of Diwali varies across different regions and communities, yet its essence remains the same—celebrating light and life.
According to Hindu tradition, Diwali commemorates the return of Lord Rama to his kingdom of Ayodhya after 14 years of exile and his victory over the demon king Ravana. The people of Ayodhya lit rows of oil lamps (diyas) to welcome him home, a practice still observed today.
