Diwali, also known as the festival of lights, was observed yesterday, i.e., October 31. The festival is celebrated to mark the return of Lord Ram to Ayodhya after 14 years of 'Vanvas'. It is reckoned that the people of Ayodhya welcomed the deity by observing mega celebrations, and lighting up Diyas.
The festival witnesses family gatherings, colourful decor and Diya lighting.
