Diwali, also known as the Festival of Lights, is one of the most celebrated festivals in India. It marks the return of Lord Rama to Ayodhya after defeating Ravana, and people welcomed him by lighting lamps. The festival symbolizes the victory of light over darkness and good over evil. Homes are decorated with diyas, candles, and rangoli, while families exchange sweets and gifts. On this day, Goddess Lakshmi, the goddess of wealth and prosperity, is worshipped for blessings of happiness and success.
