Today, as the nation embraces the festival of lights, Diwali, cities and towns across the country are aglow with the radiance of lamps, candles, and colorful decorations. The air is filled with the joyous spirit of celebration as people exchange gifts, sweets, and well-wishes. From the intricate patterns of rangoli adorning doorsteps to the spectacular burst of fireworks illuminating the night sky, Diwali is a vibrant tapestry of cultural traditions, symbolizing the victory of light over darkness and good over evil.

Mythologically rooted in tales from the Treta Yuga, Diwali holds significance in the narratives of Lord Rama’s return to Ayodhya and Lord Krishna’s triumph over the evil Narakasura. As families come together to perform ceremonial rituals, light lamps, and revel in the festivities, Diwali continues to be a time-honored celebration that transcends generations, fostering a sense of unity and joy among people of diverse backgrounds.
