Diwali is celebrated by Hindus, Jains, and Sikhs and some Buddhists to mark different historical events, stories but they all symbolise the victory of light over darkness, knowledge over ignorance, good over evil, hope over despair.
The mythical stories told for Diwali vary regionally and within the traditions of Hinduism. Yet, they all point to joy and the celebration of Diwali with lights to be a reminder of the importance of knowledge, self inquiry, self-improvement, knowing and seeking the good and the right path.
It is a metaphor for resisting evil, for dispelling darkness and for compassion to others.Diwali is the celebration of this inner light over spiritual darkness,of knowledge over ignorance and right over wrong It is a festive restatement of the Hindu belief that the good ultimately triumphs over evil
