The festival of lights, Diwali, celebrated in the month of Kartik on the new moon day (Amavasya) symbolises the victory of light over darkness or good over evil. It is associated with goddess Lakshmi in many communities.
In some regions, it is also celebrated to mark the return of Lord Rama, his wife Sita and brother Lakshmana to their kingdom Ayodhya, after defeating Ravana.
