Legend: After the exile of 14 years Lord Rama along with Laxman, Sita, and Hanuman returned to Ajodhya after defeating Evil Ravana. All the homes were lighted with oil lamps and the Ajodhya people turned the night into a festival of light, which is the beginning of the Diwali celebration.

Nowadays houses are illuminated by earthen lamps, candles, and electric lights.

For the Hindu business community, Diwali marks the beginning of the new year. The Goddess of wealth, Laxmi is worshiped and after Puja new accounts books are opened.

Diwali comes in the month of October or November.
