Hindus celebrate Diwali to rejoice in Lord Rama’s return to Ayodhya from a 14-year exile after defeating the evil Lord Ravana and rescuing the Goddess Sita, who had been Ravana’s captive. The festival marks the homecoming and reawakening of good over evil. It is said the villagers lit a path for Rama, to show him the way home.
