[Diwali or Deepavali is known as removing the darkness and bringing brightness into our life. Diwali is an annual festival celebrated by Hindus in commemoration of Lord Rama’s return to Ayodhya, symbolizing the triumph of good over evil. This year, Amavasya extends from October 31 to November 1 which include Pradosh Kaal, Laxmi Puja, and Vrishabha. In preparation for the festival, people often clean their houses, offices, and shops in hopes of bringing them good fortune. During Diwali celebrations, people illuminate their homes and offices by lighting up rows of lamps around the living premises, and offer prayers to their deities.]
