About Diwali Festival & History

Before discussing the dates and significance of each day in Diwali, we shall emphasize its history. Why is Diwali celebrated? According to the Hindu epic, Ramayana, Diwali was celebrated for the first time when Lord Ram returned to his home “Ayodhya” after killing Ravan. It is believed that his return to Ayodhya along with Sita, Laxman, and Hanuman, marks the victory of good over evil, purity over impurity, and light over darkness. People of Ayodhya lit up oil lamps in their homes and turned the night into a light festival, that’s where it is known as the Festival of Lights.

This five-day festival straddles the new moon. Each of the days has its importance and spiritual belief. The first day marks Dhanteras when people clean their houses to welcome Lakshmi Ji, the Goddess of Wealth and Prosperity. Buying expensive goods is believed to be luck. The next day is Naraka Chaturdashi when the demon Narakasura was killed by Lord Krishna, marking the coming end of the year. The 3rd day on the new moon in Kartik is Diwali when Lord Rama rescued his wife Sita from the demon Ravana and returned home after a long exile. Balipadyami is on the day after Diwali, also known as Govardhan Puja or Annakut. On this day, Lord Krishna lifted Govardhan Hill to give shelter from torrential rains to local villagers. Lastly, on day 5, every brother and sister celebrate Bhai Bij by visiting each other’s place and meeting them.
