Cultural Significance

There is a tradition of celebrations that have been followed in India for thousands of years, which is more commonly known as Diwali. It is celebrated to mark the return of Lord Rama back to Ayodhya after completing a 14-year-long exile and hence lighting Diyas (oil lamps) indicates the victory of good power over evil, sunrise after darkness. Decorations are not simply adornments; they represent our rich historical legacy of culture and spirituality.
