Importance of Diwali

Diwali is the day when Lord Rama returned to Ayodhya after defeating the demon king, Ravana. To welcome him, the residents of Ayodhya lit thousands of diyas and greeted the occasion with great festivity; that is why even today, families illuminate their homes and communities.

Inauspicious Timings for Diwali Prayers

The ideally suited hour of Laxmi Puja lies between 5:12 P.M. and 6:16 P.M. on October 31, as peak hours of celebrations fall during that time.
