About Diwali:
Diwali is one of the grandest celebrations for the Indian community – the festival of light. It represents the triumph of good over evil, light over darkness, and wisdom over ignorance. It is an honorific celebration for the ancient legend of Lord Rama, who was deprived of his true kingdom and sent into exile for 14 years. Diwali celebrates Rama’s eventual defeat of the evil “asura” Ravana, and his consequent triumphant return to his homeland.
