After this Shri Ram had to go into exile. When Lord Ram returned to Ayodhya after spending fourteen years in exile, the people of the city gave him a grand welcome. Since then Diwali is celebrated. It is told in Ramayana that when Lord Shri Ram returned to Ayodhya with his wife Sita and brother Lakshman after killing Lanka's King Ravana, the entire city of Ayodhya was glowing with lamps. Diwali was celebrated on the arrival of Lord Ram to Ayodhya after fourteen years of exile. Lamps were lit in every city and village. Since then, this festival of Diwali became the festival of victory over darkness and started being celebrated every year. Pandavas return to their kingdom During the Mahabharata period, the Kauravas, with the help of Shakuni uncle, defeated the Pandavas in a game of chess and fraudulently took away everything from them and they had to leave the kingdom and go into exile for thirteen years. On Kartik Amavasya, five Pandavas Yudhishthir, Bhima, Arjun, Nakul and Sahadev returned to their kingdom after completing thirteen years of exile. The people of the state lit lamps to celebrate his return. It is believed that since then Diwali is celebrated on Kartik Amavasya. incarnation of Goddess Lakshmi According to the mythology regarding the origin of Mother Lakshmi, the goddess of wealth and the better half of Lord Vishnu. The demons had created havoc in all three worlds. With time, the atrocities of the demons started increasing in all the three worlds and they became dominant in all the three worlds. Due to this, King Indra's throne was also snatched away. After this, the frightened gods took refuge in Lord Vishnu. On this, God advised him to churn the ocean and asked him to drink the nectar coming out of the churning of the ocean. With this, the Gods will become immortal and they will be successful in defeating the demons. At the behest of Lord Vishnu, the ocean was churned in Kshir Sagar. Along with fourteen gems, nectar and poison also came out of it. Mother Lakshmi was also born during the churning of the ocean. Who was adopted by Lord Vishnu as his consort. The festival of Diwali is celebrated on the new moon day of Kartik month according to the Hindi calendar. It is said that on this day, during the churning of the ocean, Goddess Lakshmi ji had incarnated. Mother Lakshmi is considered the goddess of wealth and prosperity. Therefore, along with lighting a lamp in every house, we also worship Goddess Lakshmi. killing Narakasura The king of Pragjyotishpur city was a demon named Narakasura. When Lord Vishnu was born as Varaha, it was because of his touch that he was born from the womb of the earth. With his power he troubled all the gods like Indra, Varun, Agni, Vayu etc. He started troubling the saints also. Started torturing women. He also captured sixteen thousand women of saints etc. When his atrocities increased, the gods took refuge in Lord Krishna. But Narakasura was cursed to die at the hands of a woman, so Lord Krishna made his wife Satyabhama the charioteer. Accepting Indra's prayer, Shri Krishna along with his beloved wife Satyabhama reached Pragjyotishpur riding on Garuda. After reaching there, Lord Krishna, with the help of his wife Satyabhama, first killed the demon Mur along with six sons of Mur - Tamra, Antriksh, Shravan, Vibhavasu, Nabhashwan and Arun. Hearing the news of the killing of the demon Mur, Narakasura set out for war along with many of his generals and his army of demons. Narakasura was cursed to die at the hands of a woman, so Lord Krishna made his wife Satyabhama his charioteer and after a fierce battle, Krishna killed him in the end with the help of Satyabhama. In this way, Shri Krishna freed the gods and saints from terror by killing Narakasura on the Chaturdashi of Krishna Paksha of Kartik month. In his happiness, people lit lamps in their homes on the next day i.e. on the new moon day of Kartik month. Since then the festivals of Narak Chaturdashi and Diwali started being celebrated. So these were some interesting stories behind celebrating Diwali.
