Diwali, also known as Deepavali, is a celebration of a new beginning and the triumph of optimism in our lives. This year, Diwali falls on October 31st and November 1st. The most popular Diwali myth has Lord Rama, Sita, and Lakshmana returning to Ayodhya after killing the demon king Ravana. To commemorate their homecoming, the people of Ayodhya ignited oil lamps, which symbolised the triumph of good over evil and the removal of darkness.
