Origin of Diwali

Lord Rama along with his wife Sita and brother Lakshmana returned to Ayodhya after fourteen years of exile and after attaining victory over Ravana. The people of Ayodhya out of sheer happiness and joy illuminated the entire Kingdom with earthen lamps. This was done to welcome Lord Rama. Thus, Diwali commemorates the return of Lord Rama from exile. Henceforth, on Diwali there is the tradition of lighting oil lamps which also symbolizes the victory of good over evil.

Diwali is celebrated for five days and Dhanteras marks the beginning of Diwali. The business communities of India begin their fiscal year from Dhanteras. And on Dhanteras, which is the first day of Diwali new utensils and silverware are brought from market. The second day of Diwali is known as the Choti Diwali. This Choti Diwali usually involves the grand preparation for the next day. The third day is the Badi Diwali. And on this day, Goddess Lakshmi is worshipped. Govardhan puja is the fourth day of Diwali and the fifth day is the Bhai Dooj. On Bhai Dooj, sisters invite their brothers to their homes where the sisters pray for their brothers and the brothers gift them with things of their choice.
