Diwali, also known as the Festival of Lights, is one of the most important and widely celebrated festivals in India. It symbolizes the victory of light over darkness and good over evil. The festival usually lasts for five days and is marked by lighting oil lamps (diyas), decorating homes with rangoli, bursting firecrackers, and sharing sweets with family and friends. Diwali also has great religious significance, as it celebrates the return of Lord Rama to Ayodhya after defeating Ravana. On this day, people worship Goddess Lakshmi for prosperity and happiness. Diwali spreads joy, unity, and hope, bringing families together and filling hearts with positivity and warmth.
