Wishing everyone a Very Happy Diwali ๐ช๐ช๐ฅโจ
Diwali is the symbol of the victory of good over evil, of hope over despair and of knowledge over ignorance. There are many stories around the celebration of Diwali.
According to mythology, Lord Rama returned to the kingdom of Ayodhya with his wife Sita and brother Lakshman after he defeated the evil Ravana. Lord Ram returned after fourteen years of exile and his subjects had lit up the streets of Ayodhya with diyas to welcome the ruler.
People light diyas and lights in their home on Diwali in order to welcome the Goddess Lakshmi in their homes, as it believed that the goddess will grant wealth and prosperity to those who worship her on this occasion. The occasion is also considered auspicious for making new investments.
Devotees also pray to Lord Ganesha, the God of fortune. Diwali is also celebrated as the day of marriage between Goddess Lakshmi and Lord Vishnu. In West Bengal, worshippers worship Goddess Kali on the occasion of Diwali.
