Diwali Mythology Background:
At the root of Diwali celebrations, there are some of the myths that have caught our attention. The Diwali festival is closely associated with the return of Lord Ramchandra to Ayodhya after 14 years. Ramchandra returned to Ayodhya after the death of Lankeshwar Ravana on the holy Vijaya Dashmi. The anointing ceremony was held on his royal throne in Ayodhya on the day of the Karthik new moon. To celebrate the festival, the people of Ayodhya warmly greeted Ram by lighting a lamp with the intention of removing the darkness, so this mythological background of Diwali cannot be denied.
Similarly, on this auspicious day, Krishna killed Narkisur and spread joy in the minds of the gods. As a result, the burden of the earth was exalted. The devotees rescued sixteen thousand captives and sent them to Dwarkapur. On the same day, the locals lit a fire on Kauriya's stick and congratulated him.
Lakshmi Puja is one of the attractions of Diwali. In the past, Mother Lakshmi was imprisoned by the Asura king Bali. He was freed by Lord Vishnu in Bamana avatar during the holy month of Kartik. Lakshmi's liberation day was celebrated by the people by lightening the diyas. It would not be an exaggeration to say that the Diwali festival has been celebrated in Hindu society ever since.
