Abhyasa wishes Happy Deepawali to one and all.

Diwali or Deepavali, also known as the festival of lights is an important Hindu festival which symbolizes the spiritual "victory of light over darkness, good over evil, and knowledge over ignorance".

The festival usually lasts five days and is celebrated during the Hindu lunisolar month Kartika. The Diwali festivals include Dhantrayodashi, Narak Chaturdashi (Choti Diwali), Lakshmi Puja (Diwali), Govardhan Puja, and Bhaiyya Dooj. Lakshmi Puja is considered the most significant day of all.

It is also believed that on this day, Lord Rama returned to his kingdom Ayodhya with his wife Sita, and his brother Lakshmana after serving 14 years of exile and defeating Ravana in Lanka.
