The magnificent festival of lights, Diwali is one of the most beautiful and widely celebrated festivals in India. Filled with delish sweets, tons of gifts, scrumptious food, and lots and lots of diyas, Diwali makes homes shine like a diamond.
Lord Rama was exiled for 14 long years, during which His wife, Sita was abducted by Ravana. Lord Rama then fought a long battle with Ravana for the honour of his wife Sita and won.

That day is now called Diwali.
