Diwali, celebrated every year on the day of Kartik Amavasya, holds immense significance. It is attributed to various legends. One of them is the return of Lord Shri Ram to Ayodhya after defeating the tyrant King Ravana of Lanka. The joyous occasion of his return led to the celebration of Diwali. In the belief of Lord Krishna’s devotees, this day marks the slaying of the oppressive demon King Narakasura, bringing happiness and prosperity to the people who showed their appreciation by lighting diyas or oil lamps. Additionally, according to another mythological tale, Lord Vishnu assumed the form of Lord Narasimha to vanquish the demon King Hiranyakashipu. On this day, during the churning of the ocean, the goddess Lakshmi and Lord Dhanvantari appeared. Diwali Muhurat has immense significance in various other religious traditions as well. According to Jain followers, the Nirvana day of the twenty-fourth Tirthankara Mahavir Swami is also on Diwali. Diwali is also important for Sikhs because on this day the foundation stone of the Golden Temple was laid in Amritsar in 1577. And apart from this, on the day of Diwali in 1619, the sixth Guru of Sikhs, Guru Hargobind Singh Ji was released from jail. Similarly, many beliefs and stories are associated with the festival of Diwali.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
