Diwali Carnival | Diwali Shopping | Family Vlog

Diwali is celebrated for several reasons, primarily as a festival of lights that symbolizes the victory of good over evil, light over darkness, and knowledge over ignorance. Key mythological events include the return of Lord Rama to Ayodhya after defeating the demon king Ravana, and the defeat of the demon Narakasura by Lord Krishna. The festival also holds significance for other religions and communities, marking events like the enlightenment of Lord Mahavira for Jains and the release of Guru Hargobind for Sikhs.

Hindu celebrations

Lord Rama's return: The most common reason for celebrating in northern India is the return of Lord Rama to his kingdom of Ayodhya after a 14-year exile and his victory over Ravana. The people of Ayodhya lit lamps to guide his path, and this tradition continues with the lighting of diyas (oil lamps) during the festival.

Lord Krishna's victory: In southern India, Diwali commemorates the day Lord Krishna defeated the demon Narakasura and freed the 16,000 girls he had imprisoned.

Goddess Lakshmi: The festival is also dedicated to the worship of Goddess Lakshmi, the deity of wealth and prosperity, as many believe it to be her birthday or the day Lord Vishnu married her.

Lord Vishnu and King Bali: In western India, the festival marks the day Lord Vishnu sent the demon king Bali to rule the netherworld.

Other religions and communities

Jainism: Diwali is celebrated as the day Lord Mahavira, the last of the Jain Tirthankaras, attained nirvana and enlightenment.

Sikhism: The festival marks the release of the sixth Sikh guru, Guru Hargobind, and 52 other princes from imprisonment in 1619, a victory of freedom over tyranny.

Harvest festival: For some tribal communities, Diwali serves as a harvest festival, expressing gratitude for the end of the agricultural season.

General significance

Victory of good over evil: Across all traditions, Diwali's central theme is the triumph of good over evil, light over darkness, and knowledge over ignorance.

New beginnings: Many people consider Diwali an auspicious time to start new ventures, businesses, or a new financial year.

Family and community: The festival is a time for families to come together, exchange gifts, and celebrate with food, sweets, and decorations.
