Why is Diwali Celebrated? | Various Hindu Stories Of Diwali

For thousands of years, Hindus around the world celebrate Diwali, also known as “the festival of lights”. Diwali signifies the victory of light over darkness, the victory of Dharma over Adharma.

However, there is not one reason behind the celebration of Diwali. While in the Northern India, Diwali is associated with Lord Ram, the Seventh incarnation of Vishnu, in the south this festival marks the victory of Krishna, who is the eight incarnation of Vishnu.

The most common tale that is prevalent in the Northern India is associated with the arrival of Ram, Lakshman and Sita to Ayodhya from their 14 year long exile. In southern India, Diwali is celebrated to mark the victory of Krishna over the demon Narakasura.

Not only Hindus but certain sections of other religions like Buddhism, Jainism and Sikkhism use Diwali to mark important events in their histories too.
