Each of the four days is marked by celebration of life, its enjoyment and sense of goodness.

Originally Diwali can be traced back to India. It most likely began as an important harvest festival.

However there are some other legends pointing to its origin, like the birthday or the marriage of Lakshmi with Lord Vishnu, as well as the return of Lord Rama from 14 years of exile and defeating the Demon -King Ravana.
