The Indian festival Diwali or the "festival of lights", will be celebrated on October 27, Sunday, across the world. The day marks the coming home of Lord Ram along with wife Sita and brother Lakshman to Ayodhya in Uttar Pradesh after an exile period of 14 years. The day of their return was amavas or a new moon day, so people lit diyas in their homes to spread light and welcome them home. The tradition of lighting diyas is being followed since then.

To celebrate Diwali, people exchange gifts and sweet boxes with their relatives and friends. They also clean their homes, decorate it and light diyas to welcome Goddess Lakshmi, who is considered the goddess of wealth.
