DIWALI

Diwali, the 'festival of lights' is time for celebrations in India. Diwali or Deepavali, as it is known in South India, literally means a row of lights or lamps. This festival symbolizing the victory of 'good over evil' and 'light over darkness' is one of the most widely celebrated festivals in the country, known for its multi-lingual and multi-cultural existence.

On the evening of Diwali day, thousands of 'Diwali diyas', (small earthen lamps) are lit up across cities and villages. The distribution of sweets and bursting of crackers are other features of the festival.

In mythology, the origin of the festival is mentioned in connection with the return of Lord Rama, the hero of the epic Ramayana, to his country Ayodhya, after a fourteen-year-long exile.

The day before the Diwali day is celebrated as 'Narak Chaturdasi', which according to legend, is the commemoration of the killing of the demon king 'Narakasura' by Lord Krishna's consort Satyabhama.
