Of all the festivals celebrated in India, Diwali is the
most glamorous one. Homes are decorated with lighted lamps to create a
magical atmosphere of joy and festivity. Diwali celebrations in India are
similar to Christmas celebrations in the USA. In the north, Diwali is
celebrated for king Rama's return after his epic war with Ravana, the demon
king of Lanka. In the south, legend concerns the victory of good over evil.
Narakasura, the demon of hell, challenged Krishna for a battle. After a
fierce fight lasting two days, the demon was killed. |
