Diwali: The Festival of Lights That Illuminates Hearts and Homes, We Online Sambalpur Team Wish All a Happy Diwali!
Diwali, also known as Deepavali, stands as one of India’s most cherished and vibrant festivals. This five-day celebration marks the triumph of light over darkness, good over evil, and knowledge over ignorance. The festival typically falls between October and November, lighting up the darkest night of the Hindu lunar month of Kartik.
The story behind Diwali varies across India. In North India, it celebrates Lord Rama’s return to Ayodhya after 14 years of exile and his victory over Ravana. In South India, it marks Lord Krishna’s victory over Narakasura. For the business community, it’s the day when Goddess Lakshmi is welcomed into homes and businesses for prosperity.
