Diwali is a major festival within the Hindu religion. It is a festival of lights. During Diwali people decorate their home with various lighting and light fireworks on the day before and on.
The religious significance of this festival can be found in an Indian epic called the Ramayana. It signifies victory of light over darkness. On this day God Rama returned to his territory with his brother Lakshmana and his wife Sita after defeating devil Ravana.

As as the story goes Ravana abducted Sita. Rama attacked on Ravana and his territory with the forces of monkeys and then defeated Ravana and other devils. When Rama returned back to his territory Ayodhaya with his brother and his wife the people of Ayodhya celebrated the day and then after to modern times by decorating their homes with various lightings. many hindu people look at this day as the marker of the new year too.

its a beautiful holiday with lots of merry people celebrating God and another new year!
