Deepavali or Diwali is known as the Festival of Lights. It signifies the victory of good over evil and is believed to be celebrated when Sri Rama and Sita returned to Ayodhya after fourteen years of exile. It is also believed that Sri Krishna killed the rakshasa Narakasura during Diwali. In Jain tradition it is believed that Diwali marks the attainment of moksha or nirvana by Bhagwan Mahavira. It is also the commencement of the New Year in many parts of India.  18th October 2017 Wednesday - Chaturdashi also known as ✓Naraka Chaturdashi - the day Sri Krishna caused the death of Narakasura ✓Chotti Diwali - Abhyang Snan or Oil Bath is an important event on this day.
