World Celebrates Deepavali Festival

Hindus across the World Celebrate the Deepavali Festival today (31).

Diwali also called Deepavali is a “festival of lights” that celebrates the triumph of light over dark and good over evil, and the blessings of victory, freedom, and enlightenment.

The Deepavali festival commemorates the defeat of the Demon Naragasun, by Lord Vishnu.

It is further written in ancient folklore that the demon requested lord Vishnu to help all those in the world see the light similar to how he did now.

Hindu devotees light up the night on days like this, praying that the lives of all would also be enlightened through it.
