Diwali is a special festival celebrated in India, especially for Hindus. It is believed that Lord Rama reached Ayodhya with Sita Mata after conquering Lanka. People lit lamps to celebrate Lord Rama's arrival in Ayodhya. Since then, Deepawali i.e. the festival of lights has been celebrated. Diwali is being celebrated with great pomp across the country. On this day, people decorate the house with lamps and lights, worship Goddess Lakshmi at night and pray for prosperity and happiness in the house.
