Diwali, also known as the Festival of Lights, is one of the most celebrated festivals in India and among Hindu communities worldwide. It symbolizes the victory of light over darkness and good over evil, commemorating the return of Lord Rama to Ayodhya after defeating the demon king Ravana. Families celebrate by lighting oil lamps, decorating their homes, and exchanging sweets and gifts. The festival typically lasts five days, with each day having its own significance. On the main day of Diwali, people perform prayers to Lakshmi, the goddess of wealth, and enjoy fireworks displays that illuminate the night sky, creating a vibrant and joyous atmosphere.
