Diwali 2022: Significance

Diwali is associated with Ramayana. The festival of Diwali is observed to celebrate the return of Lord Rama to his home, Ayodhya. Lord Rama came back to Ayodhya after spending 14 years in the forest. According to Ramayana, the eldest son of King Dasharatha was sent into exile in a forest for 14 years. His brother Laxman and wife Sita accompanied him to the forest. It is believed that after defeating Ravana, Lord Ram along with brother Laxman and wife Sita returned to Ayodhya after the completion of their banishment. The day on which they returned is to date celebrated as Diwali with the same enthusiasm and auspiciousness.
