Shubh Deepawali (Diwali), Deepawali or Diwali is one of the most cherished Hindu festivals, celebrated around the world.
The five-day holiday is often called the “Festival of Lights” because “Diwali” is derived from the Sanskrit name “Deepawali,” which means “row/garland of deeps (diyas/candles)”, but the significance of the festival goes beyond just lights.
One of the most popular historical events associated with Diwali is the return of Bhagavān Shri Rāma and Devi Sitā to Ayodhyā (city in India) after 14 years ofexile and a momentous battle of good over evil with Rāvana.
