Celebrating Ram’s homecoming: The Diwali connection

Diwali is celebrated all over India to mark the return of Lord Ram a reincarnation of Lord Vishnu to his kingdom of Ayodhya after 14 years of exile. 

On the day that Lord Ram returned it was a dark night (Amavasya) to lighten up their path the people of Ayodhya lit lamps and earthen diyas. Sweets were distributed and a feast was held to mark this joyous occasion. 

The lighting of diyas symbolizes the win over darkness, the victory of good over evil. 

Now, Diwali is celebrated by cleaning out houses, repainting and decorating them with flowers and rangolis. Sweets and snacks are prepared and diyas and candles are lit. 

Another big part of Diwali is buying new clothes and exchanging gifts with friends and family. 

Phool has launched its Diwali collection of gift boxes a perfect eco-friendly gift for your loved ones.

Let’s look at some other traditions and customs of Diwali in India.

Diwali or Deepavali the festival of lights is celebrated 20 days after Dusshera, when Lord Ram killed Raavan and rescued Sita from his captivity. Ram, Sita and Lakshman then start their journey home and reach Ayodhya on an Amavasya night marked by celebrating Diwali.

According to the Hindu calendar, Diwali falls on the 15th day of the Kartik month, during the period of Diwali the Sun and Moon are in conjunction which according to astrology promotes harmony.

Diwali gets its name from diyas, which translates to rows of clay lamps. Diyas symbolise purity and goodness, it is a symbol of overcoming the dark. In some cultures, it is also seen as a sign of warding off evil.

The homecoming of Lord Ram Diwali also marks the victory of Lord Krishna over Narakasura, and some communities celebrate it as Narak Chaturdashi. 

The Goddess of wealth Lakshmi is also said to bless people during this time so her puja is performed on the day of Diwali. In North India, people play Teen Patti, a card game that is believed to be lucky.

In the east of India it is Kali Puja is performed on Diwali, Goddess Kali is said to be out slaying demons and becomes unstoppable so Lord Shiva lies down in her path to calm her down, when Goddess Kali steps on Lord Shiva she stops. The puja symbolizes positivity, courage and peace. 

Even Buddhists and Jains celebrate Diwali. For Jains, it is the end of the year and marks the day Mahavira attained Moksha.
