Diwali celebrations bring happiness on the faces of every citizen in country India. Without the barrier of religion or caste, everyone celebrates the festival of joy. diwali means festival of lights lamps, business and the victory of good over evil.

One of another reason for this auspicious festival is The Victory of Rama: According to the epic ‘Ramayana’, it was the new moon day of Kartik when Lord Ram, Ma Sita and Lakshman returned to Ayodhya after vanquishing Ravana and conquering Lanka. The citizens of Ayodhya decorated the entire city with the earthen lamps and illuminated it like never before.
