Unveiling the Deep Significance of Diwali: Commemorating Lord Rama’s Triumph, Seeking Prosperity from Goddess Lakshmi, and Wisdom from Lord Ganesha
Diwali is celebrated because it is believed that Lord Rama returned after defeating Ravana on this day. Therefore, the festival is also celebrated to mark the homecoming of Lord Rama.
On Diwali, people worship Lord Lakshmi and Lord Ganesha. Goddess Lakshmi is considered the deity of wealth, while Lord Ganesha is the deity of intellect. This signifies that one should be intelligent like Ganesha to possess wealth like Lakshmi. In other words, wealth is attained through intelligence.

On this occasion, people often make idols of Lakshmi and Ganesha using cow dung, and clay lamps are also lit. So, the festival is not only a celebration of the victory of good over evil but also an opportunity to seek blessings for prosperity and wisdom by worshiping these deities.
इस मौके पर अक्सर लोग गाय के गोबर से लक्ष्मी और गणेश की मूर्तियां बनाते हैं और मिट्टी के दीपक भी जलाए जाते हैं. इसलिए, यह त्योहार न केवल बुराई पर अच्छाई की जीत का जश्न है, बल्कि इन देवताओं की पूजा करके समृद्धि और ज्ञान का आशीर्वाद मांगने का भी अवसर है।
