Significance of Diwali
All the festivals and fasts celebrated and observed respectively in Hinduism serve some purpose and have significance attached to them. In this regard, the question arises why Diwali has been put at the top of the list. In Hinduism, the festival of lights is held in great esteem and is of great importance. This festival lasts for 5 days and it is obvious that there must be a purpose behind its celebration.
The legend associated with the festival of lights: One of the most famous stories of Diwali is the return of Lord Rama along with his wife, Sita, and brother, Lakshman after the exile of 14 years. It is said that Lord Shri Ram killed the egoistic Ravana on Dashami Tithi during Shukla Paksha in Ashwin month in Treta Yuga and this day is celebrated in the form of Dussehra or Vijaya Dashami. After killing Ravana, he took 20 days to return to his birthplace, Ayodhya, with his wife and brother.
To greet the return of Lord Rama along with his wife and brother, people illuminated the entire kingdom with lamps/Diyas to express their joy. It is said that the tradition of celebrating Diwali started from there onwards. This year, Dussehra was celebrated on 15th October and Diwali would be on 4th November.
