Diwali, also known as the Festival of Lights, is celebrated by millions of people across various cultures and religions, primarily by Hindus, Jains, Sikhs, and some Buddhists. Hindus celebrate it to mark the return of Lord Rama to Ayodhya after defeating the demon king Ravana, symbolizing the victory of light over darkness. Jains celebrate it as the day Lord Mahavira attained Nirvana, while Sikhs commemorate the release of Guru Hargobind Ji from imprisonment. The festival is celebrated with lighting lamps, fireworks, feasting, and exchanging gifts, fostering a spirit of joy and community.
