Diwali is one of the most eagerly awaited festivals in India. It is popularly known as the festival of lights, symbolizing the victory of light over darkness and good over evil. One of the most widely celebrated legends linked to Diwali is the return of Lord Ram and Goddess Sita to Ayodhya after Lord Ram’s 14-year exile and his victory over the demon king Ravan.

This grand celebration symbolizes the triumph of good over evil and the return of righteousness. During this festival, people worship Goddess Lakshmi to seek her blessings for financial success and well-being. It is believed that she visits homes and blesses them with wealth and good fortune.
