Diwali also known as Deepavali and the "festival of lights", is an ancient 
Hindu festival celebrated in autumn every year. The festival spiritually 
signifies the victory of light over darkness, knowledge over ignorance, 
good over evil, and hope over despair. The festival preparations and rituals 
typically extend over a five day period, but the main festival night of Diwali
 coincides with the darkest, new moon night of the Hindu Lunisolar month 
Kartika. In the Gregorian calendar, Diwali night falls between mid-October 
and mid-November.

The Origin of Diwali

Diwali can be traced back to ancient India, when it was probably an important 
harvest festival . However, there are various legends pointing to the origin of 
Diwali or 'Deepawali.' Some believe it to be the celebration of the marriage of 
Lakshmi with Lord Vishnu. Whereas in Bengal the festival is dedicated to the 
worship of Mother Kali , the dark goddess of strength. Lord Ganesha , the 
elephant-headed God, the symbol of auspiciousness and wisdom, is also 
worshiped in most Hindu homes on this day. In Jainism , Deepawali has an 
added significance to the great event of Lord Mahavira attaining the eternal 
bliss of nirvana . Diwali also commemorates the return of Lord Rama along 
with Sita and Lakshman from his fourteen year long exile and vanquishing the 
demon-king Ravana. In joyous celebration of the return of their king, the 
people of Ayodhya, the Capital of Rama, illuminated the kingdom with earthen 
diyas (oil lamps) and burst crackers.
