Deepawali is a festival of light which teaches that happiness and misery always goes on and on in a person’s life. Therefore, man should keep moving in the direction of time. Neither should we break through sorrow nor boast of happiness. This is the importance of Diwali, which is hidden in his mythology, how Rama, Lakshmana and Sita had to suffer in life despite being the form of God. The character of Rama whose character is described behind this festival is the basis of human life and the character of Ravana also teaches human beings that no matter how knowledgeable one is, if someone sleeps on the bed of pride, then its end is certain. In this way, this light festival is a sign of human being moving from darkness to light.
November 14, 2020 is the new moon day of Kartik month . Even though this day is Amavasya, but the whole festival of lights of Hindu religion, ‘Diwali’, shines throughout India.
