Not only children or youth become crazy for Diwali, even old people and partnts are also celebrate the Diwali with the children that make us happy and provide us a good time to enjoy before the advent of winter.
Why we celebrate Diwali: But do you know why we celebrate Diwali? In fact, Diwali is not just a not just the festive mood in the air that makes you happy or play with crackers. There are various reasons behind the celebration known as the Festival of Light and victory of Light over darkness.
There is a belief that the Goddess of wealth, Lakshmi incarnated on the new moon day (amaavasyaa) of the Kartik month during the churning of the ocean (samudra-manthan). It is the same day when the Diwali is being celebrated and since then we celebrate the festival.
There is another myth which says that it was 'Kartik Amavashya' when the Pandavas appeared from their 12 years of banishment as a result of their defeat in the hands of the Kauravas at the game of dice (gambling). The episode is very important in the Mahabharat and one who love Pandavas, celebrate the occasion known as Diwali.
The main and major thought behind the reason to celebrate Diwali is the belief that
it was the new moon day of Kartik when Lord Ram, mother Sita and Lakshman returned to Ayodhya after vanquishing Ravana and conquering Lanka. As Ramayan tells, it was the occasion when they returned to Ayodhya and people of Ayodhya celebrated the occasion as Diwali.
