Diwali is undoubtedly the most important celebration in India. As it is traditionally known, Deepavali is one of the significant Hindu holidays that Hindus look forward to.

Yes, there are several reasons to commemorate this occasion. Continue reading to learn about the history and significance of India's light festival.

Shri Rama is involved with one of the most popular Diwali legends. Diwali commemorates Shri Rama's return home after a fourteen-year absence. After living in exile, the scion of Ayodha returned to his kingdom with his wife Sita and brother Lakshaman.

This is how the tale goes...

On the day of Dashami, Shukla Paksha, in the month of Ashwin in Lanka, Shri Rama ended Ravana's tyranny in the Treta Yuga. Hence, Dussehra or Vijaya Dashami is the name given to this day. After defeating the demon king, Shri Rama took roughly 20 days to return to his hometown, Ayodhya.

The residents of Ayodhya, who had been waiting with bated breath for Shri Rama, his spouse Sita, and brother Lakshmana to arrive, lighted clay lamps and filled the city with brilliant lights to welcome them. It was also the night of Amavasya or the New Moon. As a result, in the lack of moonlight, the city glistened brilliantly, and people acknowledged their love for their future ruler by paying modest homage to him.

Surprisingly, the time between Dussehra and Diwali nearly always stays the same. Dussehra 2021, for example, was marked on October 15 this year, while Diwali will be observed on November 4.
