🌟 The Story Behind Diwali

Diwali’s origins come from different Indian legends and faiths but share one message — light triumphs over darkness.

  • The Return of Lord Rama: In North India, it marks Lord Rama’s return to Ayodhya after defeating Ravana and completing 14 years of exile. The people lit diyas to welcome him home.

  • The Victory of Lord Krishna: In South India, it commemorates Lord Krishna’s victory over Narakasura, symbolizing the end of evil and darkness.

  • The Worship of Goddess Lakshmi: Diwali night is believed to be the time when Goddess Lakshmi roams the earth, blessing devotees with prosperity and wealth.

  • For Jains: It marks Lord Mahavira’s attainment of Nirvana.

  • For Sikhs: It is celebrated as Bandi Chhor Divas – the day Guru Hargobind Ji was freed from captivity.

💫 Across every story, the core message is the same — light, goodness, and truth always prevail.
